Interesting video comparison, thanks!
car high beams are not that throwy lol. If your high beams are shining farther then your tm36 then ether your tm36 is defective or you have none standard highbeams. Every light i have thats over 200kcd blows away my hightbeams in throw and my hightbeams are pretty good. I have a k50vnv3 that does 500-600kcd and 2300 lumens and i can hit things 3/4 mile away. car highbeams are not going to do that.
I have the projector type hid headlights with halogon highbeams. Im not sure about the thow exactly as i never really bothered to take that much notice. Maybe one day ill do some beamshots vs my highbeams to show the difference. I can do it right in my backyard. My drive way is tilted up and so my high beams wound hit the shead dead on 130 feet away. Should be a good comparison.
As for the green lasers they are not measued in kcd. A 5 mw will out throw any flashlight but the dot is so small its useless as a flashlight. I have hit buildings 15 + miles away with my 1,400 mw green laser. And and btw your inbox is full i cant pm you back
