#allthelumens
this video does a great job of explaining why more lumens is more better. Hopefully it will at least go a way towards helping those stuck with outdated approaches move forward.

Re: #allthelumens
I love this, makes me feel so much happier after dropping money on an Olight M2R 1500 lumen light.

Re: #allthelumens
I also got an Olight M2R. Pretty small for the amount of lumens it puts out.
Really nice, the tail switch is absolutely silent when using momentary on.
I was amazed at how much I could see using the "umbrella" lighting by pointing it at the ceiling. Didnt blind me at all. Definitely want to find a low light course next year after I finish some more Level 1 training.

Re: #allthelumens
If all goes according to plan I will have access to a facility for low light training next year

Re: #allthelumens
Kinda sad that we can get pages and pages on "should I use HST or Gold Dot" but actual useful stuff barely gets a glance.

Re: #allthelumens
Thanks for sharing. I always found it strange, the knowledge based useful threads get far less attention than the political threads on gunsite.

Re: #allthelumens
Thanks T for posting this. I wish we could see more of this type of solid advice on here. Another urban legend disproved.
"I have never been in any situation where I wished I had less light".
How's that for a punchline.

Re: #allthelumens
Ja, good video.
I am happy that it addressed the issue of blinding oneself with one's own torch due to glare off a wall etc - it is something that I was, once upon a time, convinced was possible. BigT has addressed the issue a number of times on different threads and it is good to see it reinforced in this video.
I think that one of the reasons there are so few responses to the video is that it speaks for itself.

Re: #allthelumens
You need to watch this video, there is a lot of very good info in here that you don’t usually get in these youtube videos.
T if you present a class with some of these learnings I’d be very interested.

Re: #allthelumens
He's got some very interesting stuff in his videos. Definitely one of the best on YouTube.
Helps that Aaron Cowan is actually an instructor with some skill, and clue and not some mouth breather who films himself shooting guns. I may not agree 100% with all his positions but they're well thought out and logically based.
