The inquiry I get most often about my MEGA lights, such as the MAG 951, is how much more powerful they are compared to the regular police or military flashlight.

The Magcharger and the Stinger have been for many years the standard from which all the others lights are judged.
The Magcharger has been upgraded in the last few years from 30,000 candlepower to 40,000, and the Stinger has come out with the Ultra Stinger, that has upgraded the candlepower of the Stinger from 40,000 to 75,000.

Last year I bought one of the Magchargers, and just now I bought one of the Ultra Stingers of 75,000 candlepower, to test them again my rechargeable MAG 951 II.

And to represent the military high end flashlight, I included the Surefire M-6 with the 500 lumens lamp. Of course, this light is the darling of Special Forces and many SWAT teams; it uses six 123’s batteries for a 20 minutes run time.

The target is the tool shed with the beam shots coming from 43 yards away, while my camera is placed at 15 yards from the target.

Here are the lights, from left to right: Surefire M-6, Ultra Stinger, Magcharger and my red MAG 951 II (this time with the 3 plastic battery carriers ~$200~ 951 lumens version.)



Magcharger, 40,000 candlepowers, 200 lumens



Ultra Stinger, 75,000 candlepowers, 290 lumens



Surefire M-6 (500 lumens) this light uses six 123's batteries for a 20 minutes run time.



MAG 951 II, 951 lumens 45 minutes run time, rechargeable.



The MAG 951 II will run more than twice as much and will outout twice as many lumens as the Surefire M-6, and do it in a rechargeable model.
