When using as light how bright does these get? When using as a strobe how bright are they? How quickly do they recharge?

Full power strobe they put out enough power to set my camera to f/16, ISO 100, 1/250...they recharge less than 1/2 sec...they have model lights but I don't use them so I don't have the measurements.

Not to my knowledge. I wanted them to strobe so it works nice for me. It comes with the controller and an on/off switch. They are very bright at night for the size. I'm happy with them. Great for tight spaces.

The See-Me Strobe flashes 120 hours on a set of two AA batteries (not included).http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2924&oldsite;=1

They're faster than most; instant on and full brightness in about 10 seconds. I use them for many purposes.

As bright as a battery powered one. I use mine all the time for a work light. Very bright fluorescent bulbs.

Yes - intense light with good battery life about 2 hrs continuous useage. However if you want a personal carry with strobe function you will need to look at their law enforcement models. Only draw back with the law enforcement models is that they are longer and heavier than the P2X

they are not as bright as 185.00 dash strobes but for the money I bought 1 all blue and 1 red and blue and they are bright a nuff to do the job, remember how much they cost they are not big money lights, at night they are good they are well worth what they charge they work

I didn't measure the power used, so can't comment on that. But mine are *really* bright and I believe the claim that they are equivalent to a 225W incandescent. But they're not instantly bright - they take about 5 minutes to reach full brightness.

no they are a rechargeable only battery. They are inbetween a AA and a C battery. This light is bright, but its not where near 3800 lumens. might be 600 or 800 lumens at the most. my streamlight stinger shines farther and has a more noticeable light beam. not to mention my streamlight lasts 6 hours on a extended life battery where as you get 30 minutes max with this flashlight

They only draw 200 mAMPS (0.0000002 amps) so the wattage is really insignificant if you are worried about battery life. I am in road construction and normally leave mine running for 5-6 hours and have never had a problem. FYI: I run these at the same time I am running my overhead light (strobe) and four corner strobes.

Depends on the situation you are using the for. Just darkness...then yes they are bright

It is bright, very bright (and hot) but don't expect them to last too long... they burn out too quickly. Purchased these several times because of their brightness, but gave up reordering them because they are too pricey for the amount of time they last. (70 days tops in my numerous purchases) Good luck.

Not really. They do give decent light right away, but they get to full brightness over about a minute. Where I use them, it's not a problem, but if it was over my desk it might bother me. (Interesting that I now see two people said yes. We all must have different ideas of "instant on" means.)

No flash, but they seem to do fairly well in moderate light. I have some good shots of a whale shark taken up close at about six feet deep in murky water.

I have purchased four of these and depending on ambient temperature (the colder the shorter the life) the should last as one of the other posts states 9 hours on low, 1.5 on high and almost 3 on strobe. One of mine actually came with a battery that had a contact point(little button) that had come unglued. I am in the process of sending it back to get another. What I like is that they charge so quickly so unless you need more than the stated time you really dont need the extra battery, just pop on the charger for a hour and your good. The battery life indicator always lets you know if you need a charge so you dont get caught dead.

I couldn't tell you, as all of mine have burned out. Cheap Chinese junk. Beware. They run for a few months, then start flashing like a strobe.
