How many lumens is the light rated?

The LED is rated for a maximum output of 1040 lumens. However, in actual use, the output ranges from 300 to 800 lumens depending on the battery type (lithium, NiMH, or alkaline), battery strength, operating temperature and other factors. Furthermore, the S1000 lens wide zooming ability, from a large area to a focused square beam, can cause the final output to vary significantly.

Is it better over the long term to use aaa lithium or aaa alkaline batteries?

Neither. What these flashlights are made for, is a SINGLE 18650 lithium (rechargeable) battery. That's why they include the clear plastic tube, to insert the 18650 into. If you WERE to use AAA's, then RECHARGEABLE AAA's (known as NiMH) at 1.2 volts each, would be recommended. When buying 18650's, they need to be high quality, or you're going to get ripped off. Cheap 18650's have low capacity, and no protection circuit. A good indicator of quality is usually when you can get 2 for $25. I suggest reading this post to get a better understanding of what to look out for. https://lightsngear.com/buying-cheap-rechargeable-batteries-risky/

what manufacture and model bulb is in this flashlight?

since MIDirect didn't respond to the question i'm going to assume it's just a generic LED bulb ...if it was a Cree T-6 LED i'm sure they would have advertised it as such since the Cree LED is a respected leader in bulbs...but since MIDirect just states it has an LED bulb you can "assume" it is of generic quality. I wish MIDirect would put their 2 cents in on this !
