- 90000 LUMEN! Strongest Flashlight in the WORLD.... Yeah RIGHT!! LOL!! If you want to see some flashlights I actually recommend, be sure to check out the link for the new list I've made!
My Recommendations List: docs.google.co...

I tested these lights and of course they don't make any where near 90,000 lumens. They also do not use a genuine Cree LED. However for the price I paid for the zoomable one in particular ($17.79) It's not a terrible light. It did make over a thousand lumens and the zoom function is pretty good. Both lights (ebuyfire and generic zoomy) could have just told the truth about their product. They could have said. "1,000 lumen flashlight. Fake Cree LED." And made their own video and still sold lights!!
To be clear my problem with this is NOT that they used content from my channel. If some RUclipsr had taken clips from my videos and made a compilation that accurately reflected what was being talked about I would have been fine with it. If they had taken clips from my imalent MS18 video and done something creative with it (not just stole my video and re-uploaded), then fine. BUT this company is intentionally trying to TRICK people. They are using videos of $700 dollar flashlights and pretending their cheap product is the one in the video when its clearly not.
Nice video, and me I decided to try the one where they say they donate the money or what not, lol jokes on me. It came and came with out a battery and its not what they showed or said it was at all disappointed but I got what I paid for garbage, I would have to say its about as crappy as the dollar 🌲 store flashlight, now the other part is that they don't give you any information on how to get it refunded. I would think that because it's fraud for false advertising that I would be ok. Do you have any information on what I can or we can do to help me and other who do or but from places like this. And how do I contact them they have no information but at bottom of page they talk about a 30 day refund crap. Love you videos and I got sucked,lol.
If you used paypal or your credit card to pay, you can make a claim going through the company. Both PP an CC companies typically have very good buyer protection.
Matt no one, and I mean NO ONE will ever do flashlights or batteries...or even jerky as thoroughly or in depth as you. Of course they stole your content, you are the best out there!
Thank you for the kind words :)
@@Lumencraft- bro please Astrolux FT04
I wish everyone would simply not buy from crappy Chinese manufacturers. They all need to be put out of business.
Theyre all chinese flashlights lol
On what piece of not Chinese technology did you post this comment ?
I know they're all made in China, but as he sort of says there are tons of cheap lights making ridiculous claims. A majority of them are probably made in the same factory and rebranded by dozens of other crappy companies. I can deal with Chinese made if it's designed and marketed by a reputable company. I just wish more people were aware of what they're buying and not supporting the "knock off" dishonest companies.
@Pennsylvania Mike There's some decent steel that comes from China forges and mills... "Decent" meaning that they're RIDDLED with impurities, welds like shit, and rusts in dry cool conditions... You know... Decent.
@@andrewc9790 The problem with consumers: They feel their time is too valuable to spend 5 extra minutes researching a product, supplier, or manufacturer. Same problem YT philosophers seem to have, that they don't have enough of their highly valuable time to spend 5 minutes of it to ensure their not fanning the flames of misinformation.
Such a high value is placed on their time, hence the probability that most of these individuals rent 33% or more of their life to corporation, working a menial and unsatisfying job like myself, living more-or-less check to check.
Lol... It took me 20 years to get tired enough to risk debt for the online universities I've been communicating and applying to in recent weeks. Self worth through the roof!
You could content claim the YT videos that use your footage and get the ad revenue from those videos.
the majority of the views were already "used" on the video. And he would most likely have to manually issue DMCA takedowns for each video instead of the content ID system which is automatic once the vid is uploaded. Unless he has some sort of management which has access to the content ID system. (most small content creators dont)
YT is a bot. Your not going to talk to a human so filing a claim is virtually pointless.
@@MasterBasser A majority of these views came from when then BOGUS video was ran as an add.
@@847MicRoss regardless you can't get paid for views that were already paid out. Views that were already in the past. Only future as far as I've seen. Maybe a record label would be different since they have lawyer teams. Dunno.
@@MasterBasser Same sh*t different toilet paper?
www.theverge.com/2020/7/23/21335554/steve-wozniak-youtube-lawsuit-bitcoin-scam-cryptocurrency-apple
I'm sure this ran as an ad as well.
LOL I know how you feel Matt, I started watermarking videos, sadly these companies are ripping off a lot of uninformed consumers. Keep doing what you're doing!
That's funny coming from the biggest shill on RUclips.
That’s awful that people would steal your content. 😢
Theft is standard Chinese business practice.
actually its a compliment.
He's so handsome
They might have got Lumens and Candle Power confused.
But I've met those who ALWAYS LIE!
You're probably right!
😁
I went nuts looking for your channel to tell you, this company was using your material. You should get comp for this. Go after them all.
I have seen those fake 160-240K lumen flashlights, buy one of those!
China right?
Ask China
Killed me with the equation of how they got to 90k lumens 😂 😂 😂 😂
I love running into dudes who buy these "100000000 lumen" Chinese flashlights and are like "man I got the brightest flashlight they even make" and then I blow them out of the water with my $20 BLF A6.
You can contact the company and ask for some PC. Or to not use your clips for advertising.
Btw 1:45 min. is my video that they "borrow" from me
Haha. I noticed that too. They sure borrow content a lot without your knowledge eh?
Yeah I've seen that one used in other flashlight ads on Facebook. That video of yours is like 7 years old yet people are trying to sell new 'flashlights' with that video.
quite sad that people are quite gullible and believe the rubbish out there pay for what you get love your video,s matt the truth be told
report the video to youtube for copyright, they should take it down.. its just sad they would steal your stuff like that... Its the same crap with those 9000mah 18650 batteries on ebay etc....
so they perform like a convoy c8 or so also with 1000 lumens but that is using a real cree emitter, not fake and for budget price its what u get... but these claim 90 000 lumens hhaahahaha..
It was on a website not just RUclips there’s nothing he can really do about they except report the company as fraud.
They pop up on Facebook and instagram ads a hell of a lot.
I remember when I first got interested in flashlights around 2006 or so. My first lights were Luxeon I based. I soon moved up to a Fenix L2D-CE and have since upgraded it twice. The fact you can spend $20 and get even this level of light is amazing to me. I think it's sad how your content was stolen, but I'm not surpirsed. It's the same with impossible mAh batteries. I think the only thing you can do is make a video pointing out the lies.
Most people (95% population) don’t need it expensive and good quality flashlights. That's why buy only a Maotsetung-garbage.
Your youtube channel is for professionals & flashocolic maniacs (5% population)
You pay what you git for! Mostly I worry about SAFETY.
Sick of them ripping my vids off to advertise their cheap P70 lights, to be honest some of the Chinese brand XHP70/90 lights are quite bright, they don't need our footage.
Sometimes after a few seconds you don't have to cycle through all the levels to turn off, just long hold for off.
Did saw that on facebook add/ if you pay them they may be sending you a small crapy 2 usd ebay light - i did order one from aliexpress 17usd this longer what takes two 26650 it supposed to have XHP 90 or 90.2, its bright for thr money /
I still waiting acebeam W50 throw 6km
Frankestein Highmore is that dead in the water ?
@@WillEDC No. The old LEP flashlights were discontinued due to quality issues, not law. So W40 and W50 are still in the making.
John theux could sworn they had them on the site but I can’t find any info anymore on them. Let me ask acebeam
Have you tried the Nitecore Tiny Monster series? flashlight.nitecore.com/product/tm16gt I have this thing and I think its amazing. Its like a lightsaber.
Misrepresentation, fake products, theft of IP, less performance than is stated in the specs? Whoda thunk...
I wany to buy a flashlight from nealsgadget . But there is not a single 1 review in any product . Why??????
You could power the flashlight with the 9.000 ma 18650 battery !!!!,man love your vids
Because your viewer are flashlight enthusiast and knows more than just fake advertised.. :) some others thinks owh its just a flashlight, why spend more? Thats the difference.. keep goin mate cheeers
Could you maybe do a video of a light that can do 10.000 lumens or more per square foot for a room for growing plants without having to have a single grow light one foot above each plant?
Matt i love your videos, you the flashlight man!
Hi, i have seen them vids selling "fake" monster torches on Facebook Ads, i always do my research on many items before i purchase, my first LED torch is Forrader CREE XM-L2 U3 which ha been great for the last 2years, but since i have been watching your vids i have now got a Astrolux MF01 Mini and ThruNite TN36 LT, love watching your vids keep up the good work..stay safe.
I know what you feel! I often saw my MS18 vs car video stolen to these craplights advertisings. 😒
HOW does it have almost 10M views now... what...

Love your videos Matt and especially your DIY stuff.
But if I could make a suggestion, It would be awesome if you delved into some laser diy/hobby/modding and laser experiments!!
I was into flashlights for several years and lasers never interested me. But once I started poking around and got my hands on a few of the cheap high-powered lasers… It definitely rivals the flashlight Hobby!!
Just humor me for a moment…
There’s so much in common with the flashlight Hobby… And I bet $100 that you’d really enjoy it!! It’s such a broader subject! With so much modern amazing technology!!!
I have a humble electronics lab setup, where I do repairs on industrial circuit boards, restore test equipment, and all sorts of other projects. I have a somewhat sizable eBay store where I sell industrial equipment to fund my electronics lab and hobby.
I got into lasers a year or two ago and have mostly hobby grade lasers.
But the different wavelengths (colors), The unbelievable breakthroughs in recent laser technology, and the absolutely astounding cheap prices currently… Makes the laser DIY/modding hobby so much fun.
With huge potential‘s for scientific experiments, all types of engraving and fun with 3-D printer/conversions countless other things.
A few years ago a simple 532nm green laser would require hundreds of dollars worth of equipment, And be quite sizable.…
Now you can get a three pack of green laser pens for $7. Each one getting well over 100 mW!!!
You can find countless 200mw lasers in every color imaginable, paired with cheap 18650 battery and charger and the whole kit is under $10! All of the driver/modules, laser diode‘s, and hosts are so exceptionally cheap… And you already have all the gear from flashlights.
What makes the laser hobby so much more fun than flashlights… (in my opinion) Is the never ending potential for experiments and the usefulness of the technology in my every day life. Lasers are so important to science, Medical, and countless other industries…
Once you start poking around and modeling some of the cheap pointers from eBay… You will quickly realize it’s a vastly broader hobby than flashlights with so many more ways to experiment!
I’v Always loves your channel and am always excited to see a new video! Keep up the wonderful work!
could you review sofnir flashlight?? are they legit?
I'm so disappointed with that 90k. I really wanted to see Moths explode into fairydust as they cross the beam. xD
Lmao!!! Nice
Hey Matt, I wonder if they got lux mixed up with lumens??? That would be closer to the truth??
That would certainly explain things LOL!
Name of the flashlight from 0.45 - 0.47????
I have payed for 8 Items from China since thee start of the year and did not receive one . I didn't even try and get my money back ,I just gave negative feed back.
Have you read any feedback on those stores? If you use PayPal there is protection for up to 6 months.
I have had good luck with my orders, some came very fast, others take a few weeks. If you bought on ebay, contact the seller or open item not received case. It's not right to leave bad seller feedback if you don't know why the item never arrived.
@@TechSeller I agree with what you are saying but I have brought nearly 1,500 Items and I have contacted the sellers ,over and over and they say they will resend or wait a few days longer and longer until it's out of time .Yes over the years I have got refunds and I always give the best feed back .These sellers are only from China and no, I'm not a raciest .So lately ,I have been contacting them a few times and never receiving the items ,I just give back bad feed back .The Items were never even sent and yes I loose my money .They must learn to be honest.
@@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8 There is a window of time when you can open a case and Ebay will refund your money if the item is not received. If the items are lost during shipping it's not the sellers fault, but you will get a refund, If the items have no tracking info to show they were shipped, then it very well could be the sellers fault, either way ebay will deal with it and refund you.
Hopefully you report/strike these videos mate.
I agree. I saw the ad and commented that it's misleading information on their products and I saw your MS18 flashlight on the fake video. .A 700 dollar flashlight. I own an MS18 my self it's a beast, compared to the flashlight to what they advertise which is less.
Was looking at these thankyou for the review now staying th f away from them thankyou !!!!
A lot of flashlight advertising in any social media they stole a flashlight review video or light beam show video from another great flashlight to make pretend like product them sell / thank you for this video sir ! great work !
You should just buy all of them with PayPal and claim the money back after they didn't fit the description. Easy free torches.
Haha, I've seen a video on FB that uses different videos of different flashlights including the Wicked Lasers one which is silly because it's not an LED flashlight and speaking of, do you own one? Someone made a video and the lens cracked due to the heat, but what's your opinion? Is it worth it or just a good collectors item?
I don't have the wicked lasers one, we used to make the same thing with maglites (Mag 623) It used an Osram 64623 or similar bulb. With a borofloat lens installed I never had any issues with breaking the lens. The run time on them is going to be very short. The battery pack is only going to last about 10-15 minutes, but its really a fun 10 min. :) You get 4000 lumens of high CRI fire starting fun.
@@Lumencraft- That's pretty awesome, I love Incandescents for that 100% CRI. I have read through some old CPF posts of some crazy MAGLITE mods which I never thought existed. Back then, 4000 lumens must have been really mind blowing, I still think it is.
Actually most flashlight with most high lumens output is Chinese made like imalent, acebeam, nitecore, lumintop, astrolux, manker, klarus etc. which opposed to some us made like elzetta or surefire that's not even reach the 5000lumens output
Love your shirt
Very well produced, and informative. Thank you. Was looking for proof for my buddy that these adverts are false adverts, I figured they were I.D. thieves.
In my mind it would still make more sense to lie about these if you're an ID thief, rather than lie about a decent product with claims that it's the "ULTIMA POWERED, NEVER-BEFORE POSSIBLE, INACHIEVABLE, FUSION EQUIVALENT, DESTROYERS OF DARKNESS!!!" rather than just a decent light for the appropriate price-point.
The most efficient air cooler commercial is using JACKASS footage.
RUclips where are you at with the copyright claims.
I've been demonetized for way less.
I ordered 4 of those a year ago and never received them.
I just ordered a flash light a few days ago, I wish I would have seen this video first
I was wondering when you would catch this.
I can barely notice a difference
EBUYFIRESUPERTRUSTKING...
I don't care... I am buying every flashlight with that name...
I bought a flashlight that used your clips. Its named the tp360 pro. Its a total scam. They use a bunch of these clips and the tp360 pro is a cheaply made single led flash light.
Perfect! Thank you for this review. I hope more people will watch it!
Good lucks ordering a fw4a from China, taking 3 months after they lost it during shipment 😑
Where can I get it faster?
how do fake xhp70 do comparing to real ones, in terms of consumption and lumens?
on a 1:1 basis, not 18:1?
When will I learn to avoid those youtube ads? Remember "Tiger Stream"? Yea. Got one in my junk drawer. How 'bout "Bitconneeeeeect"? I only lost $100 in Bitcoin before I realized it was just a big scam. Now, here I am. Waiting patiently for my super duper TP360 pro flashlight. Ouch!
I got suckered into buying a light with those exact clips in the advertisement. When I got it, it would be lucky to put out 250 lumens. Luckily PayPal refunded my money. Shortly after that I couldn't find the company online anymore. The website I bought it from wouldn't ever pull up anymore. Just be careful what you buy.
GREAT content, liking your videos, have subscribed... And Brother, I love your T-shirt My Friend!
1 Chronicles 29:11
Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
I never buy these lights. They suck. The user interface sucks, the output sucks, and they use your video content without your permission. Messed up! A company selling a product that specs are all LIES, using your video content you spent time and energy on, for them to make money by selling an inferior product, just...lame! Any time I see those lights for sale on Amazon or Banggood, where it’s a zoomie with the button with a half circle of less claiming 90,000 or something ridiculous output, a part of me dies a little. I don’t even spend time and energy looking at that crap.
It takes a lot of effort for a device to output that amount of light. And at a significant cost. Look at the Imalent MS18. Then look at this bull crap. Ok I’m done; I need to go into a corner and calm down a bit.
Hi sir! I love your videos. Can i have one of your 90,000LM flashlight coz. I cant afford to buy that one here in the philippines..
Thank you so much..
Godbless..
More videos please..
Man it's getting out of hand...I literally saw one earlier that said and I'm not exaggerating or making this up "980,000,000LM" yeah, nine hundred and eighty million lumens, I don't know to much about lumens but out of theory wouldn't that many like melt your flesh off if you accidentally shined it on your skin for a few seconds? LoL
Do NOT buy the TP 360 Pro tactical flashlight from Zest Ads. You WILL be disappointed. Their entire ad video that is run on youtube and Facebook is stolen (mostly from these clips shown here).
Any other suckers like me order the TP360? I thought it was in US but maybe the website was....now gone? Hope i get my product...from china.. in a month....ship shipping...not local. If the beam can be focused, it may be equivalent to 9000 lumens at a far distance. If the lens melts, they better consider glass, and free if a plastic one melts.
I made AliExpress give me full and partial refunds on these very flashlights. They present them as CREE led's by tagging them as XHP 70 or XHP50 they started doing it over a year ago. Now you can get the XHP90 don't do it. The big one does make a nice club.
I got that fake xhp70 zoomie flashlight a while ago. it's was actually a nice cheap light for a while. but after I used it for a late night walk the fake LED burnt out after 10 minuets at full power. now I'm using Convoy and Astrolux flashlights.
OMG, I purchased "10 flashlights for the price of 5" and got 0. From a RUclips commercial that included some of the videos and content you say belongs to you. I dug a bit deeper and the company was out of china and hosted sites on godaddy which were down when doing a "whois", rather prior. They are actually back up using other domain names and hosts so beware. Got my dough back though.
They stole your content but you can laugh about their stupidity. And your content had millions of viewers. Thats the most amazing part. What are those viewers looking for👏??
Maybe they should just view a number of your excellent vids. Maybe they learn what a real flashlight can do.
I saw those ads for those flashlights and immediately recognized they were using clips from your channel, which obviously means they are falsely advertising BIG TIME.
I hope you report them!
Matt I purchased this 9000 on flashlight from Amazon for $35.00 will return today. Phony reviews and etc. T Anna for your information
they tried to fool the customer for the flashlight rookie who not really in light, they sold on amazon, aliexpress, and ebay blah blah blah, show us video stole mostly content of imalent ms18 which is very bright
And... they add the video in to make us think it's bright as the imalent ms18 lol
What I notice is that they're too good in advertising. They pay a lot on advertising which explains the views. I noticed when someone goes to me to buy some lights, most of them gets turned off when I state the prices and the specs even on the budget category like convoy. They seem to get fooled with these types of cheapo lights and think they could get it less for the same specs and quality. These kind of marketing is dangerous especially on substandard stuff that could potentially start a fire if left unattended. Please, don't sacrifice your house for cheap stuff.
you did the right thing not getting the tp 360, garbage, scam ad, ripoff joke flashlight. but the joke was on me. Caveat Emptor ...
Hi Matt, niceo video, please try the PNI f430 1k lumen flashlight, one of the cheapest, or the newest PNI f30 3k lm :)
Yeah, that seems to be a common trend on eBay these days. Doesn't meet the specification, but is cheap enough/good enough to keep someone from putting in the refund request. Kind of a shame too, in the sense this exaggerated marketing devalues everyone's efforts, including theirs.
Hi Matt, I found an error in your table. The GT "mini" is not a keychain light and it has more than 450 lumens. You should call it "nano" ;)
Lol when I saw this ad I knew instantly it was stolen from you and I couldn’t wait until you made a video on it 😂
It really has 4100 lumens i think i checked their website. wickedlasers.com it says you can fry an egg on it🙂 its $199 but i think you can get brighter torches for your money
Can you build me a flashlight? One of your 90,000 lumen ones? It would be great for the fire service and search and rescue here where I’m at!
Yeah... Those names those Chinese "companies" come up with send me running immediately to the toilet..you can almost see the creativeness and inspiration..Is there a way you can add a watermark to your videos??
Bro even 17 bucks it is exactly expensive. You can get this in Chinese market no more than $9(¥60).
Stick with olight
yeah nah...I'll take trust in my olight SST90 intimidator...true 2200 lumen output.
Aliexpress😂😂😆
Went to Amazon they have this 90000 flashlight by many brand names and it's the same crap exsatrated bullshit.
Hi guys,anyone reading this comment can they let me know if LED Lenser is still German or has it gone Chinese? And if so is the quality the same?

Bought myself a "Zoomie" on Ebay, burnt in ~10 Seconds
Hi. Then I was more fortunate as my zoomie lasted a full 2 minutes before sending SOS in smoke signals. ***LOL***
I got a week out of my POS lol
Hey matt I've got a maglite 6D 60000 mAh will it work with the 5000 lumen and how long will battery last.
Давай уже субтитры. Охота на русском понять, что ты говоришь. По любому, автоматический перевод есть наверно.
Hell no that's crooked I've never bothers legs I'll stick with the name brand lights that people all get a bunch of crooks
You can literally see it's a different flashlight in every clip but people that don't know about lights will sadly fall for it
2023 and i am still seeing these knockoffs. Glad you showed about the iso hack.
You're the best channel for flashlight reviews in my humble opinion. 😎
matt isaw the tv comercial and i i saw it and also the wivked laser halogen bulb yhos ismt 1st time ibe seen comercials using you ans your light
Hey Matt can you pleaseee do a video on cheap Chinese torches? Like you can try testing out the fake XHP50,XHP70,XHP90,XHP100,XHP120,
XHP160
I want to see how they compare to your lights,
Thank you for providing good flashlight content!
