Hey guys so I just got my new Jetbeam M1X WP-RX in the other day and was able to take some ANSI FL1 style candela readings today, and holy smokes are Jetbeam sandbagging on the output.
I tested against my ACEBEAM K75 which has a rated Candella of 1.563M and a measured candela of 1.683M candela with my equipment.
Get this: the M1X has a rated candela of 1.323M candela but a measured 2.168M candela. That is a +64% increase over rated beam intensity.
Both flashlights measured at 8.5M after 30 seconds of runtime on a fresh charge. Which backs up the 1Lumen.com findings of 2.3M Candela.
This was not a surprise to me since the M1X beam is visibly brighter than the K75, which I literally had to buy a lux meter to confirm that my eyes were not lying to me.
How freaking exciting is the new age of LEP for throw nerds?!
