Been eyeing this little baby out: http://gemini-lights.com/products/xera-flashlight
It costs 750 SEK here ($92) in Sweden and I've read somewhere that this light was tested to output 935 lm at spec'd at 950 lm.
Could this tiny light actually produce 935 lm? How durable could it be only weighing 55g? What level of heat is produced draining
a 18650 3400 mah li-ion battery in 1h 30m?
If there is a better flashlight in aspect to lumen/dollar, weight, durability and batterylife (Xera has 1h 30min, weighs 55g + 44g) feel free to make suggestions.
Looking at the Nitecore MH20GT it seems to be somewhat better (possibly brighter spec'd at 1000 lumen and 1h 45min batterylife,
but also more expensive to order with the shipping to Sweden ($99 + 24.50 shipping). Anyone know the weight of the MH20GT?
I'm thinking $92 is expensive for a Gemini Xera and would really love to find a similar light for less.
Or a flashlight that's heavier (max 275g) with better beampattern for trail riding in tot. darkness for $60-70 or lower (minimum 600-700 lm).
I just got info that my dad has gotten a Inova T4R from his job, it's priced 2190:- SEK ($269) here and $109 at amazon.
But I'm not looking for heavy, overpriced and super durable flashlights that costs >1 SEK/1 lm, but generally bicycle lights
are equally overpriced here. Could I trust the Gemini Xera to not get too hot and end the diodes life prematurely?
So try a pocket sized lightweight flashlight or buy something more oriented towards trail riding and possibly bigger and heavier?
I currently own two different cheap flashlights from dealxtreme which both outputs ca 200 lm each and need something stronger that's using 1-2x 18650 li-ion.
