Actually, the E01 is 10 lumens.


while Fenix states that, comparing it to other tested lights, it seems duller to me, so i added the "under".

The Thrunite ... only 3 lumens...


there are two Thrunite Ti versions: the original (superlow .04 lumens) and the newer 3 lumen model (that i linked too above).

the superlow .04 lumens is about the same amount of light as partial moonlight. fact is, i prefer this original over the newer model: living in the wilderness without streetlights or city-glow, it more than enough to hike to the outhouse or navigate the house. and it sure protects night vision.

on the other hand, for anyone living in town, its usually nowhere near enough to make a difference from no light at all.
