I grabbed some beam shots the other night, thought they might be useful to compare some lights out there with each other.
For myself, when people post beam shots, it helps me to calibrate what to expect...especially if they also include a light I HAVE in the mix.
The shots include an assortment of Olight SR90 (De-Domed) and the Magic Scorpion HID, and the DEFT edc LR - on some long range (500 - 800 meter) targets...they reached both.
And some additional shots on closer (233 meter) targets for the 4sevens S18, the Klarus XT20, the Jetbeam RRT-3 XML, DRY, and Big Bruiser...for mid-range.
I didn't do any closer than the 233 meter range....my camera battery decided it had been enough pics for the night.
A few (Proof I need a better low light with zoom camera...) beam shots for calibration purposes:
Magic Gashfire illuminating a Power Line Tower at 800 meter range (In real life, you could see it better, but the pics suck - apply accordingly to pics to follow, etc...)
De-Domed Olight SR90 illuminating same tower at 800 meters (In real life, it was easier to see than with the Magic, but you could see the tower was actually lit up by both of them)
Magic on Tower at 500 Meters
DD SR90 on same tower at 500 M, not zoomed (Forgot to shoot Magic unzoomed :duh2: )
DD SR 90 on 500 M tower
--------
Pond, 233 meters to treeline on other side of pond - A building, visible as a light colored wall in some shots, was on the other side of that tree line, about another 40 meters further away.

So, that should give some real world order of magnitude comparisons for the Gashfire....I think it has a nice tint, pumps out a ton of light, and for the $, it works fine. If it KEEPS working, or if the banging around to get it to me messed it up, etc...I won't know for a while (I hope a LONG while)
