Surefire X300 Turbo Main Features
Lumen & Candela
The Surefire X300 Turbo offers 650 lumens and 66,000 Candela. Some might wonder why it has fewer lumens than the older X300 Ultra, which had 1,000 lumens.
The reason is that to increase Candela, sometimes you need to reduce lumens. Batteries can only provide so much power, and this light uses two disposable three-volt batteries.
High candela light overpowering low candela light head on
Low candela light ineffective identifying the target behind a light source
The engineering behind it ensures the light also don't overheat and maintain maximum lumen and candela output without dimming down.
Why is Candela so crucial? In professional settings, a light with high Candela can help see through other light sources, like streetlights or headlights. It can also help see through tinted glass or other photonic barriers. Essentially, more Candela means better light visibility in challenging conditions. &nbs
