Pelican Flashlights
Why is this flashlight not as powerful as I thought?
I recently bought this flashlight, which has 250 lumens, powered by two CR123A batteries.
http://www.amazon.com/light-UltraFire-WF-501B-250-Lumun-Flashlight/dp/B004U9XONW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307760999&sr=8-1
I thought it would be stronger than this flashlight, which has 190 lumens. But it isn't, it is much weaker

So can someone explain to me why the 2nd flashlight is stronger than the 1st? I thought lumens were what indicated how strong a flashlight was. Or is it because of the batteries I used?
With out having them "in hand" to compare I can only suggest that the way the lights were tested and rated by the different companies is the variable. Point of focus is also another variable some concentrate the point of focus farther than others giving a different visual perception even though more or less power is thrown out there. One interesting little light are those key chain leds they are so bright at the light you can't shine it in your own eyes but try a light up anything beyond 5 feet and its worthless.
