Nitecore DL30
The Nitecore DL30 is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 1,100 lumens and 9,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 32 yards and visual impairment out to 4 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on 21700 and is rechargeable. It weighs 7.8 oz in an aluminum body 6 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands on the dimmer side for output (1,100 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (9,000 candela), in the heaviest quarter for weight (7.8 oz), and about in the middle for price ($120). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Nitecore EX7, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $120.
