Powertac Warrior G4 4,200-Lumen Tactical Flashlight

May 17, 2020

The Candela is just a little over 11,000. That is not much. If you do not understand what Candela is or how Lumens and Candela relate to each other in terms of brightness and throw, you should get schooled on it, because there are a ton of flashlights out there, this being one of them where it boasts a super high Lumen output but the Candela is so low, it doesn’t matter whether it was 4200 Lumens or 10,000 lumens. Olight has a light called the Warrior X Pro. It’s highest output is 2,250 Lumens but it has 90,000 Candela. Last night while my family pulled into the parking lot of my office to pick me up, I shined the WarriorXPro full power at them when they were about 250-300 feet away and it blasted them so hard they had to immediately stop dead in their tracks!! They said they were so instantly and completely blinded that they couldn’t even tell where the light was coming from or make out anything around them. I was impressed to say the least! This PowerTac at a little over 11,000 Candela could never pull that off! So what about how bright the PowerTac would be at a super close range? Well, we would have to try that out and see. It could be super bright. It might be super dumb and not very bright at all. The features in the PowerTac like immediate strobe is great for defense. Most flashlights that have a strobe feature require you to hold down buttons for sometimes up to 3 seconds. Not so good for immediate personal defense against bad guys which makes the strobes pretty useless unless it’s being used for a different application etc bla bla.. As far as the 4200 Lumens only lasting for a minute or two.. If you’re using it for a personal defense light then a couple minutes is fine. If it then bumps down to 1430 Lumens and stays there for quite a while, that’s a good amount of solid usable workable light. Again Candela Candela Candela! 😬 Now, all that hot air said, if the Candela were say 40,000 or higher, I would immediately buy this light right now! Maybe even two of them! Just my humble opinions! 👍🏼
