Thanks for these :thumbsup:

Re: Beamshots of 13 different lights both LED and Incans

Quite excellent. Those shots give a good feel for the relative beam patterns and brightness differences between the various lights. Thanks for taking the time to shoot those and then share them with us.

Great work and shots, very nice work. I like the way the shots include indoor and then outdoor work too by having the glass doors as a backdrop. How does the P91 go on the 18650's?

Thanks, I know that took a lot of work. Very nice.

The P91 gives a very pleasing beam, combining it with the Leefbody and 2x 18650 cells makes this an excellent combination. "mdocod's" data shows; SF P91, 20W, 360 - 215 lumens, 43 minutes.......and yes, its oval in shape.

Just showed my wife what has kept me up late last night and she actually had a close look at the beamshots and decided that she liked the Electrolumens DeCree the most from the LED's and the EO-9 the most from the incans....there you go.....

Thanks for the beam shots! The D-Mini is pretty impressive. I might have to pick one up if they offer it with a Q5 or better. Did you have OP or Smooth in the Dereelight?

OP in both, the D-Mini (original Cree) and the Dereelight (Cree Q2 version)

Cernobila, do you have any 6v xenon, like Surefire G2 or so? It would be nice to see how they compare to their worst nightmares...Cree :naughty:

Re: Beamshots of 17 different lights both LED and Incans

The EO4 and the G2 with the 3.7V WE LA are close enough for a comparison since they are a 3.7V LA and he is running all his LEDs on the same voltage. Personally i will never use a 6V LA anyway, not with the running costs

I only just saw the added lights, nice collection you have just quietly. You mention your wife's favourite light, how about yours?

Just in relation to the photos what was the white balance set on?

EDIT: just looking at the pictures and keeping in mind the previous post, i think the EO4 compares quite nicely to the higher powered LEDs. Looks like the EO4 is a thrower? Similar to all the LF LA?

I have a WE 6V lamp somewhere, it came with the Sniper light. I will do a sample photo of it in the G2 tonight......I must say that in the LED's the DeCree is on the top of my list because of the wide spill, and in the incans, I would say the whole series of EO lamps from the 4 to the 13.....I left my camera white balance on auto, I never touch it.....Yes the EO-4 and I would say most of the EO series are designed more for throw than flood.....

OK, just did the SF G2 WE 6V 2x CR123 combination and placed it amongst the others. I tried to rearrange them in order of centre brightness for easier comparison. I don't have the SF P60 lamp.....

Very useful shots. Thanks.

Excellent shots. Nice overview of the various lights.

great work. You have quite the impressive collection there.

Re: Beamshots of 18 different lights both LED and Incans (updated)

Thanks for ALL those different shots. P91 on 2x 18650's looks like a nice combo. Wish I would have had that when I use to feed mine all those 123a's every week. Thanks again for your hard work.

Nice work! Thanks.

Re: Beamshots of 18 different lights both LED and Incans (updated)

Thank you cernobila....VERY useful comparisons. What strikes me at first glance is the 2AA Fenix. Boy, have they taken the common and ubiquitous AA power source and given it an entirely new dimension ! It's an impressive display considering the emitter is being driven by just two AA batteries.

Just received the new Fenix L2D R100 light. Added it to the line-up for comparison........
