GLP,
What you should know, is that the candlepower and lumens don't compare.
Candlepower is the measure of intensity at the center of beam (the hot spot) concentrating light there score high, like the BIG spotlight reflectors cloking 2 or more million candlepower.
Lumens is the measure of total tight emited by the source. It include the side spill or flood.
Very useful in flashlights as we use the entire light output out of them.
Some flashllights will give you the two measurements.
The Magcharger is 40,000 candlepower, 200 lumens
The Ultra Stinger is 75,000 candlepower and 295 lumens
The Borealis is 1.050 lumens, two million candlepower
Here are some of the lights the shoot out:
The Maglite 3 D (39) lumens, Magcharger (200 lumens) Ultra Stinger (295 lumens)
the Surefire M-6 (500 lumens) and the Borealis, rechargeable (in red)1050 lumens.
