Lumens per Millimetre League Table (contains only handheld models)
The table below lists torches in order of Lumens [?] per millimetre.
The torch topping this table offers the best light-to-length ratio (in general this is effectively the best power-to-size ratio).
Please Note: The new 2008 Surefire models are not yet listed in the Comparison Charts. The models in question are 6PDL, 6PN, 9PL, C2L, E1B, E2DL, G2ZL, G3L, UA2 Optimus, UB2 Invictus and Z2L. Surefire have released specification details for the majority of these models, however, some data is not yet available (such as high-output runtime on the new Ultramax Series models).
In the mean time you can see details of the currently available specifications at the New 2008 SureFire models page.
Examples: If a torch emits 100 lumens and is 100mm long, the torch has a rating of 1 lumen per mm. Similarly, if a torch emits 100 lumens and is 200mm long, the torch has a rating of 0.5 lumen per mm.
Lumen output is listed per gram with the total lumen output of the device in brackets
Where a torch has variable output, the maximum output value is used
In ranking the torches on this table, the battery life of each torch is not considered. To see the estimated battery life for each torch click the 'more info' link to see the full specification.
