I don't know the lumens but I use it on our deck to read (There is no light there but there is a plug). When there is a power outage, I bring it inside and insert the D batteries that I keep on hand.The light is sufficient for reading and I suppose, depending on where you place the light, that it would work for putting a puzzle together.

I don't know the exact lumens, but it seems to be equivalent to a 40 watt bulb however, the is very directional and would probably work for your application.

I don't think it is very bright. It casts a blue light. We haven't figured out how to get it to work when it is plugged in. I wouldn't buy it if I knew how it really works.

Sorry, I don't know the lumens, but I think it should be quite adequate for assembling a puzzle. We use ours to sit on the sofa and read the paper or a book, and it works well for us. If we play games at our dining room table, which has no light over the table, it's fine for that too. We just replace the "D" batteries when needed (it takes 6 of them.) Hope this helps.

I have not measured them, but it is enough light to read and do other things. Do not really know about the charging aspect.

When I left the light on, after about 3 minutes it would turn to a lower brightness then and not go back to the 1600 Lumens. Therefore, I returned the light. I have another Maelstrom flashlight that is very good, but the MMUx3 had problems. Therefore, I bought the Eagtac MX25L3C 3500 Lumens. I have been buying flashlights for a while, but after this beast, I have rested the wallet. Good Luck.

Good idea but, no low battery indicator light. As you suspected, at high intensity (1600 lm) the light works for a little over two hours then simply shuts off. However, long-term solution to this problem involves purchasing 2 (two) rechargeable 3.7V & 6000mAh; Li-ion protected with PCB (model #: 26650 &#8776; $16.00 for a pair). Of course, the final step in circumventing this problem is purchasing a recharging unit (the unit made by 4Sevens recharges a single battery in &#8776; 1 hour). Finally, these are very robust and versatile flashlight available to the public. Hope this assist you in making the right purchase for your particular needs Respectfully, Michael O'Grady

It would appear the package is a FL5w10L ("L" for Low Power??) when the unit I bought in hand here is a FL5w10. All other literature on the W10 on other sites says "up to 500 Lumen" Since it has high and low power, and I tested it with a Gossen LunaPro and it put out a wee bit over 500 lumen at 10'. The confusing part here is the W9 is suppose to be 192 lumen, so I don't know where the 120 lumen may have come from... and even older package? Good light at one of the best prices on the net.

Email Don at the address on the information that comes with the light. He sent me mine. He also said it would be available on Amazon. It's a great addition to the light.

Haven't tried using it to put puzzles together, so I can't comment on the effect of the whiter light. It is bright enough for the spot directly under it and the near proximity. My kid uses it to do homework just fine. However, I need to use two of them (one on the left and one on the right) to cover my desk when I work at night. That said, these are desk lamps so they are not meant for a very wide area. I really like these LED lights so I bought 3 of them!

Not sure how to measure the brightness. To me for bedroom use, the brightness is pretty decent; you can do some clean up under the light. However, if you want to read a book, then you'd better to use a table lamp.

It should be noted that "lumen" can mean many things depending on how you obtain a lumen measurement. At one foot away with the "zoom" at max spread the light produced 4800~4900 lux which is about 450 lumens/sq ft. Though when focus to a point the light produced over 90,000 lux which is about 8,300 lumens/sq ft. Unless you can find definitive data that explains the lumen of this light (or any other light in existence) the advertised brightness of a flashlight is meaningless. It's would be better to look up the datasheet for the Cree XML emitter and search for visual examples of the light (using quality 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion bats of course).

Sorry, I don't know the lumens, it uses 2) 3volt lithium cells. i only use it for lighting my car locks or my pack to find stuff. the light is flood and not spot so not a huge distance. I use it frequently and have not had to change out the batteries yet, so for my purpose it is worth the cost.

Also not sure about the lumens, it's enough to read if placed within 20 cm of the text. Excellent light and brightness for pointing at a wall and getting some indirect light. Perfect for bathroom use when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't feel like turning on a ton of bright lights and you think night lights are annoying / wasteful.

I used this light in one event and for the second event few days later it still showed FULL and I knew it is not FULL. At some point in showed half and then empty and it died !! it seems to me the meter adds the life of each battery and give you the "total" as empty , half or full !! Test with one battery and I think you will get a better representation of what is left on that battery. On the color temperature I can not make a comment since I never measured it ( honestly I never paid attention). like majority of Chinese products it lacks the true quality, so I wont be surprised if I measure the color temp on mine and it is off by 900 or 800 degree. Overall I am happy I bought this light. I used this light in one event and for the second event few days later it still showed FULL and I knew it is not FULL.

The brightness is great for my jewelry projects. I checked the company website and they don't list lumens in the specs. They do have a way to inquire about the product on this page: http://eles.en.alibaba.com/product/410085674-209355092/8069LED_Magnifying_Lamp_Working_lamp_antistatic_magnifier.html

Send it back while you can. The batteries are expensive, not good for much else, and my light fried after a couple of months. I bought a Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen headlight found elsewhere on Amazon. It uses good old AA batteries, provides plenty of light, and has been going strong since the first week in Sept. My son also has one of these headlights and we use them on a daily basis.

I don't know, as the package (tossed long ago) did not, I believe, have the lumens listed. But I can tell you that while it is suitable for an "under the counter" or display case light (actually a bit bright for that second purpose when used in a dark area or at night, depending on how close the objects are), it would not light an area nor substitute for the usual incandescent or neon type bulb. I use a similar one as a secondary light over a work bench in the garage to cover dark areas, eliminate shadow, and another similar one over my computer area. Westek also makes several units which are carried by OSH Hardware and Home Depo, where you may be able to find lumens listed, or compare their units to others.

hi there, I bought 2 of these. Works very good, plenty of power for most jobs. As you can see in the left of the primary image, is the LED thing, in which you slide the battery. So you have to either use the drill, or the flashlight(if you have 1 battery). Personally not very impressed with the flashlight, not powerful at all. Recently bought a camp lamp(with 57 leds), from ebay for about 7-8$, it takes 3pc of AAA, and it works better, it is lighter, and you can hang it like a regular hanger. So don't rely on the flashlight..But the drill is awesome ! Got it for a deal here, was around 65$ with free standard shipping. hi there, I bought 2 of these.

I think this would be a great desk/table lamp for working on puzzles. The light is very good - better than I expected. I use it as a reading lamp on my bedside table, often at one of the lower of the three settings.
