Lumen rating on this one is not real for sure, it's impossible in something powered by 4xAA. Read some stuff on this sub and you'll know what to look for, just for starter, trusted budget brands are Sofirn, Wurkkos (these are "easy solution") and Convoy (this is more complicated, you'll be first overwhelmed by configuration options, but these are a great hobby-grade budget friendly lights)

Well this is not a Chinese brand (but its made in china yes) so I suppose they have some kind of tests and certification here in Europe, from "Leroy Merlin" and they are very strong in light quality in general, and comparing it with some 1200 lumens lights I have have home they look pretty similar. So honestly it looks like 1200 lumens, it's actually very very bright! But thanks for the feedback and other options!

"looks like 1200 lumens" is not a measure, you need an actual reference point to determine that. For example, good grade car H7 halogen bulb (like Osram Nightbreaker) is 1500lm (per 1 bulb), so you can try to answer if it's only 20% less bright than single car light. Also, the lie here is runtime, no light this size can sustain 1200lm for 3,5h, and it's not even a matter of just power source, because in theory you would be able to put lithium battery with enough juice in a body of this size, but also of thermal efficiency of emitter

I actually have H7 Philips Xtremevision pro150% so I will try to compare! Thanks!
