I decided to have a play with some of my fav lights.
Everyone LOVES Beamshots so here are a few that I put together this weekend.
My Weapons of choice were -
Fenix P3D-CE (2x E2 Primaries)
Wolf-Eyes Defender II EO 170Lumen (1x168A)
Surefire E2E w/ Lumens Factory 7.2V EO-E2R (2xRCR123A)
Wolf-Eyes Raider 9A w/ Lumens factory EO-9 (2x150A)
Wolf-Eyes 12V M100 Rattlesnake (4xE2 Primaries)
Wolf-Eyes M300 (3x168A)
Wolf-Eyes Boxer 24W HID (3x168A)
Ok, Yes there is a Wolf-Eyes theme here but what can I say? I LOVE Them!!!
There are 2 Shoots - Indoor & Outdoor.
I used my living room, a bench and tree at the soccer oval accross the road.
All Photo's were taken on a Tripod with the light held 35cms below the Lens.
Camera was the SONY DSC-P200 7MP Cybershot.

Outdoor details -

So as you can see, each light performs different inside and out.
By keeping the exposure the same as a reference, I can't possibly account for the 150 Lumen to 1800 Lumen range of my selected lights, But you get the idea. It was HARD to truly capture the SPILL of most of the lights and I was zoomed in 1.4x to frame a more detailed shot.
My Conclusions... The Raider is still my favourite light - It's size and throw/spill make it very versatile. The M300 is a monster if you want an INCAN Flood, the range of focus is great but it doesn't fit in your back pocket Still gets a thumbs up. The Boxer = Sensational but it wasn't fair to use it here.... I'll compare that to my new toy when it arrives in a week.... More shots then.
