How to calculate the lumen output of any flashlight. If you ever wondered if those crazy high lumen claims of those cheap Chinese lights are legit, use this US-made Maglite to check it yourself. Just download a Light Meter App to your phone and use this 100-lumen penlight as your benchmark. Because it's 100 lumens, it's easy math to determine how many times brighter the suspect light SHOULD be.

Maglite's LED Mini AAA penlight. Before there was Surefire, Streamlight, or even the term tac light, there was Maglite. The O.G. Founded in 1979. You can use a free phone app to ballpark the output of your Maglite and compare it to the output of your suspect light.
