Greetings all!
Here is a beamshot comparison of the SMJLED gen2 (from Sandwich Shoppe) and TLE-1F replacement bulbs
Close shots were taken at 5 feet, and an ISO setting of 800, f/2.6, 1/4sec exposure, and a Daylight WB.
Flashlights used were the Fulton Anglehead and a Philips branded one that is made of rubber.
The pics have their own titles ready, so here we go:
Now Shots taken at 20 feet;;;;
My main observations are:
- I thought the Anglehead was a thrower, but the Philips flashlight beat it to it.
- TLE-1F's beam is ringier and a bit more pronounce to the eye than the photography
- Did you notice the yellow TLE-1F ring at the Philips beamshot? it is not that visible with the Anglehead.
- The TLE-1F has more of a throw this is not apparent in this pics bit it did make it on a building across the street, where SMJLED was poor.
- BUT…I can not envisage any situation where you will be picking the TLE for a throw flashlight, so I will go for the SMJLED's smoother wider beam.
So hope this of help in all the feature buyers. Enjoy…Kostas
