Which Light Wins? Lumens vs Candela Performance! Nightcore EDC37 vs Streamlight ProTac HP-X!!

Hey everyone — Eric from Outer Limitless Lights!
Today we’re putting two powerhouse flashlights head-to-head in a lumens vs candela showdown.
It’s the Nightcore EDC37, a compact 8,000-lumen burst monster, versus the Streamlight ProTac HP-X, a purpose-built high-candela beam with 105,000 cd and exceptional runtime.

In this real-world test, I break down:
🔦 Lumens vs Candela — what actually matters in the field
⚡ Nightcore EDC37 (8,000 lumens / 37,550 cd) vs Streamlight ProTac HP-X (800 lumens / 105,000 cd)
🔥 Thermal regulation & runtime endurance
🌙 Beam pattern, distance, and hotspot intensity
🧊 Thermal-camera test — heat vs efficiency
💪 Which light works better for EDC, self-defense, and outdoor use

So what do you value most — a massive blast of lumens or the tight, long-throw beam of candela?
Let’s find out which light really performs.
