The lumen output of the light I received was less than Ultrafire Wf-502b Cree Xm-l T6 Led 5 Mode Focus Flashlight Black (which I tested at about 350 lumens)
And not comparable to Klarus XT11 LED Flashlight w/ CREE XM-L U2 LED 600 Lumens, Military Grey Finish KLARUS-XT11 which I used as a reference standard for a 600 lumen test using an inexpensive light meter and no zoom (the Klarus does not zoom). I held the meter in the center of the Klarus beam and stepped away (about 15 feet) until the meter read 600 lumens.
The Cree XM-L only reached about 250 lumens at minimum zoom
In fact, at full zoom the "Cree XM-L T6 1600" reached 600 lumen, but so did "FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp " which sells for about 5 or 6 bucks here.
Be assured I tested on the highest output setting, the others were proportionately less

First of all this is a very bright relatively small flashlight. You can adjust the beam width for a narrow to wide beam by sliding the head forward or backwards along the shaft. However, this light has only one brightness setting and does not have any of the following as listed in the description:5 Mode: high / middle / low / strobe / sos /
it has one brightness setting and no strobe or sos settings. This is ok for me since I have read about other lights that use the Cree LED that have these features, and the electronics that controls these features tend to fail easily. Therefore I am hoping this light will last much longer than the lights that have the sos and strobe abilities.
Edit: I discovered you can change the function of the flashlight by turning it on and off rapidly which each new function changing after each time you turn it on.
