Hello stevez, if you have a moment would you expand on the output comparison of the Streamlight and the UK? I had narrowed it down to those two but can't afford both since I have my eye on a couple of Gerbers as well.

The UK is rated at 30 lumens compared to Streamlight's 40 lumens. Candlepower Forums, however said that the UK's 30 lumens is from the LED's mfg spec sheet and that the actual output is guesstimated at seeming like 12 lumens.

Can you do an eyeball comparison? If the UK is actually only 1/4 as bright, I'll forgo the advantages of size, water proof, run time and price and go with the Streamlight. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks!
