The Lowest output starts at around 190 lumens, drops to 148 lumens in 30 seconds, and 66 lumens in 1 minute. It’s interesting to note that the light drops in steps, and not gradually. That’s kind of hard to tell in this graph, because the measurements are done every 5 seconds. You’d have to look at the 10 minutes graph to see this. The runtime is supposed to be 10% of the initial 30 seconds reading, so that means about 6.6 lumens. That’s about 16 hours. At 17h06min the light finally turns off. Find all the instructional manuals, how-to videos and reference materials for all of the products sold by Carnage Tools. Diagnostics The lowest output is 191 lumens, which is still quite a bit. A bit too high. But since it uses PWM, anything lower than that output would make the PWM unbearable. So I understand they capped it off at 200 (191) lumens. Some zoomy flashlights are push pull, but since that will activate the COB light, you need to twist the head to focus the main LED. All output numbers are relative to my homemade Integrating Sphere. It is set up with an Extech SDL400 Lux Meter for measurements including a Kenko PRO1D ND-16 filter. The base measurement is done with a Convoy S2+ that has been tested at 255 lumens.
The measurements in the highest output mode weren’t too far off, but the lowest mode wasn’t close in terms of candelas. But when you just focus on the distance: 125 meters vs 107 meters, that doesn’t seem to be a big difference. Like with many zoomies, the convex lens is not protected by a flat glass lens. That would have been preferred because a convex is more likely to damage and more difficult to replace than a simple glass lens. NEBO flashlights are designed and engineered in the United States, with final construction and sourcing done abroad. Since I don’t have any experience with Nebo’s lights, I’m curious to see if they can increase the heartbeat of a long-time flashlight user like myself.When the light is zoomed in (narrow spotlight) the beam becomes square-ish with rounded corners. At a close distance (1-2meters), you still see a weak ring outside the hotspot. That ring will become invisible after about 5 or 10 meters.
Press and hold: ramping brightness up and down. It will blink at the highest and lowest output, but if you keep pressing the switch, it just continues ramping up and downCOB: Starts at around 627 lumens, and after 30 seconds 581 lumens, and 565 lumens at 60 seconds. Runtime (10% of 581 lumens) is at 7h01min and turns off at 7h28min. Throw Measurement
The Slyde King doesn’t look, nor feel, like the average flashlight that we, flashaholics are used to. The body is covered with rubber that feels quite nice, and grippy. It won’t slip out of your hand, even with hand gloves on, or with very cold fingers.Decades of experience and deep connections in the everyday carry industry give us a unique viewpoint on the market to inform our product recommendations. We have the depth of information for thousands of products that have come before and an extensive eye on the market to see what’s new and trending for each piece of gear. The result is a buying guide that we feel is informative and useful for EDCers of every trade, industry, and budget. What is Everyday Carry? Specs didn’t specify in what focus position those lumen numbers are measured, but we can assume that in the normal position with the widest beam.
