Is it just me or does anyone else think the Surefire XR1 compact weapon light with 800 lumens is overrated? I mean, do we really need that much brightness for a weapon light? Seems excessive to me.

Seems like people are getting worked up over lumens again. Who needs 800 when 500 is already blinding? Lets focus on practicality over flashiness. Quality over quantity, right?

If 500 lumens blinds you, maybe its time to invest in sunglasses, not dimmer flashlights. Quality matters, but sometimes a little extra brightness doesnt hurt.

This whole debate on the Surefire XR1 compact weapon light is overrated. Who cares about lumens when we should be focusing on gun control? Priorities, people.

This Surefire XR1 compact weapon light with 800 lumens seems excessive. Do we really need that much brightness for everyday use? Maybe its more about intimidation than practicality.

800 lumens may seem excessive, but in certain situations, a bright weapon light can make all the difference. Its better to have it and not need it than the other way around.

Seems like everyones obsessed with lumens these days. But are we really safer with brighter lights? Wont that just blind us in close quarters? Maybe were missing the point.

Seems like everyones losing their minds over the Surefire XR1 compact weapon light. But lets be real, 800 lumens is overkill for everyday use. Do we really need to blind ourselves and our targets?

Seems like everyones buzzing about the Surefire XR1, but lets get real - do we really need 800 lumens on a compact light? Are we lighting up a concert or finding our keys in the dark? Just saying.
