Someone should make a scary movie about a jilted woman with crazy eyes who cracks unsuspecting men over the head with a GladiatorVN. They could call it No Ring!

Good vid. I could see the ring in the pool but nowhere else. I guess the camera doesn't show what the eye can see. That's cool that you're wife gets involved.

No I believe this is what happens when they get the ring :naughty:
I could clearly see that ring in Vinh's own video even though he was moving the beam around very quickly. Which means that at least in two cases the rings were very real. The beamshot of the stock light has it too:
Now, since NewLumen does not see any rings it probably means that those rings come from XPG (both lights in the videos used xpg) while xpl is free of them. Or the ring in NewLumen's test was just too far sideways for him to notice.

Beamshots for the M43 posted on the German forum: ww.taschenlampen-forum.de/beamshot... will show what's happening with corona rings for various emitters for the M43, for the sample lights that were on hand for the photographers at the time.
I have the much beloved M43vn as indicated in the small print at the bottom of my posts, but my beam profile may differ from others, due to many variables.

On mine, yes, similar to the attached screenshot by Bluzie, from the German forum thread:
Thanks for the fantastic resource! I have no idea how I could have missed that.
Looks like all LEDs produce whitewall visible rings with clear narrow optics although the nichia version has less of them. I think I would try to combine different optics in one light. For example, two triples with narrow frost and the other two with medium or wide frosted. Any combination would give its own resulting beam shape so everyone could settle on one he liskes most.

I am sure you will enjoy this ultra classic item, very short length for two and a half inch pop can light that commanded much deserved attention when it first came out. I still only have one Meteor: Same leds as your new one, (Vn VPL pdtc) but with original driver. I am overdue for another Meteor; I got mine over a year ago. I have been holding out for 12000 lumens from the Meteor, before I grab my second Meteor.
When you can, please tell us about the beam profile. And congrats!

Thanks mr buff I hope to get out at weekend and stretch its short legs and attempt some beam pics/comparisons. Getting dark now so going to sneak out and test in a bit The xpl PDT are not cool, more closer to 5000k, kind of a creamy white to my eyes.

Very impressive mr buff, astonishing for its size..............ok CRAZY for its size. It will reach out or punch the light more than far enough for me, followed by flood/spill in abundance....
Quick n dirty and useless pic really as no chance of catching much out front
Punch
close up
Too wide to catch, would need to set it up front a few metres to get the flood angle. I would say you could EDC this little monster in a coat without too much bulk.............the ultimate kick a55 EDC (and crazy). If not an inside jacket pocket, certainly a side pocket!

I have seen a video on this and it could go either way. Have to pop them out and be careful not to touch the led on the process.

10508 optics? If yes I have those, they're nice.
