  Lumens per Gram League Table   
The table below lists torches in order of Lumens [?] per gram.

The torch topping this table offers the best light-to-weight 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 weighs 100 grams, the torch has a rating of 1 lumen per gram. Similarly, if a torch emits 100 lumens and weighs 200 grams, the torch has a rating of 0.5 lumen per gram.
