lumenflation


the tendency of chinese manufacturers of bicycle lights and flashlights to claim an artificially high light output. this has necessitated the creation of a new measurement unit, the chilumen or “chinese lumen,” which has a variable conversion factor to actual lumens.
“i just bought a 10,000 lumen flashlight for $7.99 including shipping from shenzhen china.”
“you’re a victim of lumenflation. that flashlight is 10,000 chilumens, not 10,000 lumens.”
