Hi selfbuilt, thanks for the superb and very informative review. I was a little confused with your graph above on the relative output between M2XZ4-C, Lumapower MVP P7 and MVP Creex3, compared to the manufacturer stated lumen output, MVP P7 would have higher output compare to its Creex3 counterpart in medium and low mode. Will you be able to clarify on that?
Manufacturer specs need to be taken with a grain of salt.
In my testing, the MVP P7 Med/Lo is just slightly less than the 3xCree. Both are fairly similar to the Med/Lo of the M2XC4.
And I was wondering will you be able to rank the M2CX4-C, Lumapower MVP P7 and MVP Creex3, which is the best throw and flood since you had review all these 3?
Throw is easiest to say - the M2XC4 throws further than the Lumapower lights (which are roughly similar to each other0.
As for flood, that depends what you mean by it. The MVP P7 has the widest spillbeam of all the lights, the MVP 3xCree has the narrowest. But for me, flood is also about brightness of the spill relative to the hotspot. In that sense, the MVP 3XCree has the most even overall beam pattern, thanks to its narrow spill and lower throw. I suppose the M2XC4 might be an overall good balance if you were to only get one light. :shrug:
To be honest, the only real flood light is the Olight M30 with included diffuser. Now that is true flood. :thumbsup:
