Hi everyone.
I'm new to all of the aspects of flaslights and have been investigating a little during the last couple of days.
I have been looking into the brightest of the brightest and the longest throws.
I understand the measurements of lumens and candela.
What is confusing me is the lack of beam profile, it is clear that a lep like acebeam w10 will have a narrow Hotspot and little to no spill but how narrow will that beam be as a function of distance?
With its 3,1° reflector i assume basic trigonometry can be used but im not sure.
And for olight warrior x turbo which is a 1km thrower at 1100 lumens, how will that beam profile be at x meters?
What about tactical flashlight like Fenix TK22UE.
I'm looking for a dense beam, yet not so dense it would be scrap for close range applications and I have a desire to not buy several flashlights to find the proper one.
Budget 500-600 Usd
