This past weekend camping at the sand dunes in CA I finally got outshined. I'll have to step it up a few notches now.
Here's the story... I saw a friend guiding a motorhome into it's camping spot and his light seemed very bright. Of course, I had to investigate. So I walk over and ask about his light. It was a Streamlight Ultra-Stinger. He let me try it and I was impressed. So we had a shine-off. The three brightest lights I had on me were a Fenix P3D-RB100, a SuperFire WF-501D and a Mag 4D with Mag LED and Aspheric lens. His Ultra-Stinger beat them all in throw, based off of shining at the top of a very tall cell tower about 50 feet away from us. The Ultra-Stinger definitely has impressive throw. The Aspheric Mag was close in throw, but had zero flood, while the Ultra-Stinger had throw plus some flood. With ground-level targets at 50-100 feet the Ultra-Stinger also won vs. my 3 lights. However, at less than 50 feet my WF-501D won out with it's massive flood.
I don't really feel bad that I lost since the Ultra-Stinger has such a larger reflector than the lights I used, but I'll definitely need to step it up next time so I don't lose again.
Game on...
