Just saw this and thought to myself: What if a few thousand r/flashlight members started flooding amazon with product report complaints on this nonsense? Would they do anything?

Haha nope.
Is it false advertising? To me and you, sure is.
Is there any law which regulates how you must measure lumens for retail sales? Not that I’m aware of.
For the most part, muggles simply decide if a torch is bright enough for their needs, they don’t really know what 402,000 lumens would look like anyway.
You’re also allowed to exaggerate claims by saying things like The brightest flashlight in the world same as you can say best coffee in New York. Any reasonable person makes up their own mind.
