Knowing my luck they won't be in Canadian Walmarts
thatd be perfect for the work van and a great fathers day present

The really bad news isnt that Canadian Wal marts might not carry this light, the really bad news is that you now have Wal marts in Canada!

Good stuff, they don't give you as much of an idea of the differences as a camera with manual shutter speed, but every little bit of info helps. I make out the reflector to be closer to 70mm, but that's still massive; here comes the SST-90 mods..

Somewhere over 125,000 - the hotspot is visible at half a mile.

I tried leaving the ISO on auto, but it overexposed the shots really bad. The shots I posted are still a little overexposed, but you can still see the differences in the output of each light. Overall I really like this little guy, it out throws my TK60 pretty good so I'm pleased with it. I let it run for 20 minutes plugged into the 12v socket and it got pretty warm but no problems with it so far.

A very interesting spotlight. It's ironic, but I was at Walmart tonight unaware of this thread and seen a new waterproof Stanley spotlight that had a XPG in it. It looked to be a little smaller than the fatmax and was rated at 500 lumens. Even 500 led lumens from a XPG has my doubts. Glad I didnt buy it. Gotta buy myself a fatmax now.....

I saw one of these in action tonight. It's impressive! I now need to get one...

Thanks for the shots! As long as they're all shot with the same settings you get a good idea of the differences.
I have a TK41, so the TK60 shot gives me a reasonable reference point. Very speedy posting too!!:thumbsup:
Fingers crossed for Walmart Canada!

Thanks again!

Great now I want that Fat Max AND the stanley HID.... :thinking:

 

[cccpull]

They already have an XPE, XPG, and now the XML spotlight, all they need now is to release a SST-90 version.:naughty:

Here are some pics from Alex1234:




EDIT: My inbox is acting up and I just got these as well:








And here are his beamshots (using Canon SX230HS w/exposure of 1/8" @ f/3.1 and ISO-1600):

SolarForce MP Pro1


Stanely Fat Max


I'm not sure what these three are of so I'll have him explain.






Thx for the pics Alex1234!

Hate the look and it's to big and awkward.

I could justify buying the Stanley HID because Of its lumen output but not this light

 

[Illumination]

... all they need now is to release a Cree SST-90 version.

actually SST-90 are made by Luminus Devices, not Cree

Stanley hid pros:high luman output and far throw.

stanley hid cons:its heavy, has an sla battery, 8000k bulb, takes a long time to charge, may not hold a charge when you by it. (my stanley hid lasted about 6 months and died.)



stanley Fatmax pros: high luman for a led light. far throw for an led light, warmer color light ,lithium lon batteries, 6 hour charge time. two output modes, smaller and lighter then stanley hid, cheeper then stanley hid

Stanley Fatmax cons: little top heavy but not to bad, less output and throw the stanley hid,


This is just my opinion on the two and why i think the Fatmax is a better deal. btw i tryed out the stanley hid compact and a full charge lasted no more then 7 minutes. the charging indicator would turn green in 40 minutes when it really was not fully charged yet. thee throw was barly more then my fatmax and deree asphreic so i returned it and kept the fatmax. maybe i just like led's better.

You're correct. Had Cree in mind while typing.

Stanley should just switch to li-ion and stop using the heavy sla's. Heck they already have a Halogen(800 lumen) li-ion spotlight for $30.
