I have multiple flashlights from very reputable companies that there lumens are anywhere from 1500 to 500 . These flashlights light a room better when shined on the ceiling. It's a good thing you can attach multiple of these $400.00 dollar lights together. For about $1700.00 you can tape and float in a 20x20 room. No mine is not broken. Milwaukee is in my opinion the best power tools you can get. No one else comes close. I own roughly $8000.00 worth of them for my business. This is the only thing with the exception of the original 28 volt drill they made that I have tried to return.
