Also made a video of the output. Which has some exposure issues. But you kinda get the idea.... House shown is about 150 yards for reference

250+ yards trees in the back. Trees in foreground are 100 yards



This is my first HID so I have nothing to compare it to. I tried to match the photos as closely as I could to what I was seeing. This light is amazing.... Considering its size and weight. Even with the pictures it does not do it justice. I was a bit hesitant on getting one after seeing some beamshots of the PL24 when compared to much larger producers N30/Polarion/Sams etc... But I have no regrets and am completely blown away by the throw. The neighbors havent slept tonight :thumbsup:

Berry, berry nice. The Xe20 (I prefer the shorter form factor) w/ 4800 mAh cell and diffuser filter combo is at the very top of my current 2008 wishlist .

I have an AEX25 as well, and I love it. I just wish they would release a warmer tint lamp!

I love my Xenide 25W. If you don't have a diffusion lens for it yet, get one. You'll love it. It converts an all-star thrower into a serious floodlamp. Very useful for uneven terrain, walking with others, illuminating an area, etc.

Congrats OilLamp! It's such a nice light isn't it. As Phaserburn mentioned the diffusion filter makes for a great walking light, especially in foliage. It give a real, "wall of light" effect and you don't get blinded as when you sweep the hot spot too close to you.

You picked a great light.

WTH is that light bright!

Yes, absolutely beautiful light. I have the 20W and it's absolutely killer. I'm thinking about buying a 25W bulb and ballast, will be far cheaper than buying a new 25W!

I never thought of that before. I guess you could just keep the others as spares?

Yes, but depending on my needs I like to have a variable setup: compact (20W + 2600 mAh), extended runtime (2 1/2 hours on 20W + 4800 mAh spare) and sheer power (25W).

Obviously I don't have the last option, can't wait to get it.:devil:
