I'm fairly sure Lumen ratings aren't cumulative. Two 2400 lumen lights doesn't add up to 4800 lumens. Obviously the dispersion pattern will be better with two.

Not a bad price if they work. Something comparable is an Aditech VC 2L6 or the Edge Mini Wasp but they're around $7-800 for one. The Edge also has a 200M depth rating.

I assume the 2nd "luminous" actually means color temperature, 2400^oK is on the yellow side. For comparison, the Aditech is 5000^oK, or what's referred to as "near sunlight".

Well I got my lights and it was a upgrade, model M2500. X-Adventurer M2500 Scuba Diving Video Light
Well built with anodized aluminum, no flicker at low light, 6000k colortemp. + red and blue, low weight 355 g. max. 2500 lumen ( undocumented)
Can really recommend them.

I've read the same thing. What is confusing to me is most LED lights consist of several diodes/elements. If a manufacturer uses 3 diodes that each are rated for 500 lumen, most market it as a 1500 lumen light. If it is true than lumens are not cumulative, shouldn't that apply to multi element lights as well ?

I have a feeling many LED lights are not putting out the full lumen rating they list.

In my unscientific comparison, my 1500 lumen single halogen bulb looked brighter than my 3 element 1500 lumen LED light.

Yes they have variable intensity settings. 3 modes for white. But max. lumen is NOT 2500, more about 1500-1800 I believe. ( compared to a Sola 1200)

yes ,i got this one in my hand . is really expensive . but the feature was quite well

Does it have variable beam function? I really do want the Sola 1200 but went for x-adventure as it is my first light. I bought the M900 and M900W, which is the spot and wide
