Olight Sr90 vs Polarion X1 vs L70 for fun!!

[Johnyjackpot]

I am considering purchasing a X1 40w but am wondering if it worth the extra $ over the SR90. A friend has a SR90 and it's impressive. Will the X1 blow it away? The L70 is also in the running. Which would you rather have as a "toy"? I have no special needs other than fun at night. Knowing that this comparison is apples and oranges in terms of throw vs spill, will I be much more wowed as the price goes up; or is it a case of diminishing returns? Smaller size is a plus but not determinate. Thanks in advance for any help.

The SR90 and L70 are both included in this beamshot.

Thanks HJK. Have looked at these beam-shots and reviews but am hoping someone has or has seen two or all three of these. It's hard to get "the bigger picture" from these pictures.

Thoping someone has or has seen two or all three of these. It's hard to get "the bigger picture" from these pictures.

I do not understand what you mean, I believe that the beamshot covers two of them?
Here is some pictures from the above beamshot:

L70 - SR90 :

There are also pictures with other distances and access to larger versions of all the pictures.

Thanks. Do you think the Polarion at 40 w is much brighter than the Olight? Does the extra lumens of the X1 answer the question?

Have you seen Polarion PH50 vs SR90?

I have the SR90 and i am very happy with it, but i can not compare with HIDs as i have not anyone.

Any 35W HID sends out more light (lumen) than the SR90, but the SR90 has a very good throw (lux).

I have a SR90 and love it, but a good HID like the L70 or the Polarion 40 is like a wall of light.

Thanks, The u-tube is interesting. The Ph50 is so much brighter!

How about the Stanley HID vs the SR90?

The Stanley does very well for its 14 minutes of run time.
