How is this "craft" light different from the XtraFlex2 "book" light? They seem to have same dimensions, 20 lumens, 4.8 oz

I'm not familiar with the "craft light" so I'm, not in a position to compare. All I know is that my XtraFlex2 works beautifully and reliably and I consider it an exremely worthwhie purchase.

Sorry, I gave this as a gift and he's very happy with the light but no experience with the other light to make a comparison.

I don't have picture or link to the craft light, so not sure what you're comparing this to. But I do like my XtraFlex2, it lights up just what I need to see on my lap desk, and I just hooked it to the light attached to my lap desk, which no longer works.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a difference. It's whatever the seller listed. BTW, I really like the light. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

BR40 is the physical size. The item description states 1065 lumens, which seems accurate to me.

I was wondering the same thing, Nick - because this product description doesn't give any info about lumen rating, I went to the Coleman site, and the model number (2000009460) is the same on both this product and the CPX™ 6 Classic XL LED Lantern on the Coleman site. The running hours are a big discrepancy, as you note -- if you believe Amazon, it lasts 25 hours on high and 50 on low; whereas the Coleman site has it lasting 15 hours on high and 125 hours (!) on low. If either the vendor or someone from Coleman is monitoring this, maybe they can clarify.

The last one I purchased was brighter than my old one.I don't think amazon updated their description.I would use streamlight's description of 125.

I do not know but I am very happy with the 2x more light it provides compared to the stock light provided in a SnugTop camper shell. The question remains is if it will last. I have replaced the stock light twice in 5 years.

I received two XL50s with my order. One was labeled 139 lumens and the other 200 lumens. Otherwise, the packaging and flashlights are identical. I can detect no differences in brightness between the two. They are very bright. Unsure why varying lumens are listed among different website descriptions for the XL50. Mine appear to be identical.

It's not a matter of brightness. Both emit the same # of lumens. It's a function of the light spectrum they emit. So it's really an aesthetics question. Some people don't care for "white" that's in the 5,000K range and prefer the "warm" or yellowish light emitted at 3500K.

It sounds like your XL50 might be defective, I've looked around and no one else is complaining about run time. I guess I'm wrong about the lumen comparison but my XL100, which I bought from Amazon, states clearly on the Maglite package that it has 83 lumens. The Maglite webpage for the XL50 says 104 lumens. Either Maglite has made a mix up, or no one yet owns both flashlights.

The dimensions of the bulb are similar to a long neck incandescent. In fact, I had to adjust my fixture to about the limit in terms of length. I do like this bulb. The light color, focus and intensity are excellent. I am thinking of getting more.

The box it came in does not say. I have a 40W high intensity lamp. It is 280 lumens. I turned it on and the 30 LED lamp beside it. The LED lamp was little brighter, but, it is like a flashlight. It has about a spot about five inches in diameter. It does have some peripheral light, but mainly it's a spot.

In my opinion you need a better range of optics. There is very little light gathering ability difference between x40 and x42. I would recommend the 8x40 and 10x50's. I know, the 10x50 are heavier but they also are better in low light. You never know when you are going to see something that is a once-in a lifetime occurence. I think it is worth the weight.

Hi, the maglite xl100 is 83 lumes the xl200 is 173 lumes so if you are looking for a brighter light xl200 would be better the controls are the same I like the controls but they will be hard to use unless you use it a lot for a tactical you need speed the xl50 or better has less controls look for some thing for speed I like the maglites because they use standard batteries you don't want to fuss with controls in a situation.

Hi Scott-You're right - you don't have many options other than just hold with your hand. I actually got this for my dad, and while a super-bright light, I would recommend the model I got for myself:FOURSEVENS Quark Pro "X" 123²/ QP2L-X Black Finish / Cool White LED; 2XCR123A; 360 LumensIt's cheaper, much smaller, and comes with several accessories to carry it around (including my favorite a nice belt strap). And most importantly, it's essentially as bright (while the Fenix has a bit more concentrated throw, the Foursevens has a broader beam, which is more preferable in my opinion). Hope that helps...

Vicki, I am out of town at the moment. I will measure tomorrow. I can tell you that these arelarge indoor over the counter cans in a kitchen. Old incandescent Philips BR40 from Home Depot or Lowes are what were in these. These are the right color light but slightly brighter which suits my husband and me well. I will send you the can measurement tomorrow.
