![]() ![]() Feel free to speak frankly and to speak in technical terms or just tell me it was an incoherent mess and not worth your time and I'll do my best to condense to the important info. It's likely I have undiagnosed Asperger's, but I promise I'm not stupid and I'm not a child so if you actually do read all of this and find yourself thinking I'm weird, stupid, or just crazy, it's probably because of that and I'm just weird. I've come to realize who you are to this sub, and first and foremost thank you, not just go the comments and replies but all the work you've put into the sub to help people like me Hey u/TacGriz just wanted to give you an update on my flashlight journey since this original post. To convert between candelas and meters, use an inverse square:Īlso, it can help to check measurements from reviewers, since factory specs are frequently exaggerated. The SP36 specs say 31000 cd and 5650 lm, or about 5.5 cd/lm. These are all very approximate, but it'll at least provide a pretty good idea what the beam shape is like. For reference, here's an approximate scale of what those values mean: The cd/lm ratio determines the beam type. When shopping for a light, check the ratings for lumens (lm) and candelas (cd) or throw (m). So I only really want the one question answered but if you have any other advice or knowledge you want to share then feels free. I just want a really solid every day light to have at work and home that's not too big or expensive. My end goal here is to build something that's reasonable small for carrying, but i want enough light and battery life that I assume the popular edc sizes are a no go, but I genuinely don't know. I'm just looking for a rough estimate atm, like if I had 1 led putting out 1000 lumens, would I need 4 of those to make a 4000 lumen light? ![]() Would the lumen count double with double the LEDs? I assume not because the law diminishing returns, but on just a small scale I assume the difference isnt that big. My main question is pretty simple, if I add 2 of the same LED would that light be twice as bright as just one? I'm not counting any other factors like the batteries or drivers or anything. I just found the sub today while looking into both upgrading the daily use flashlights we keep at work and looking into wml's and now when I discovered I could make my own light I'm 200% on board. Maybe this is an obvious question, but I haven't found a clear answer yet either. If you submit a post and it doesn't come up right away - please message the moderators.
