I'm surprised output increase from high drain cells is visible. I remember testing them with my standard 18650 HD when it was first released. I could measure the increase, but I don't think I could see it.
When I get one, I'll certainly be using it without a diffuser.
I noticed last night that they're 5700K (I think), so I won't be waiting for a neutral version. I also noticed that they're in stock and on sale.
Well......I'm weak.
I don't have a private location for outdoor beamshots, but I can compare throw between it, the 18650 Hound Dog, and the Hound Dog Super. I'm sure the E2XT will also going along for the fun. I found a soccer park in the area that allows for distances of 300 + yards, which I can confirm with a range finder to hopefully determine real-life max usable throw.
As far as my eyes can tell its all the same colour/tint/kelvin etcJust out of curiosity, are the rings in the beam the same color? In your pictures there doesn't seem to be much change at all. No ugly purple or green.
Looking forward to the beamshotsI noticed last night that they're 5700K (I think), so I won't be waiting for a neutral version. I also noticed that they're in stock and on sale.

Not as obvious on high but most definitely there, on low the difference is so obvious you would have to be blind not to notice it and low throws nicely as well.I'm surprised output increase from high drain cells is visible.

last nights outing measured on Google maps 247 metres=815ftFantastic!
I could easily discern the eucalypts and path i was shining it on,still had more in it however past a certain point without optics you wont see it anyway.Did it light up pretty good at that distance?
