*35yard beamshots added*Mac's Aspherical

[Patriot]

I recently purchased and received an Mac's Customs Aspherical from another CPF member overseas. I thought I'd just post a micro-review with comparisons to my two best previous LED "throwers." I'll let the pictures explain the beam differences. As many of you already know, the 52mm aspherics are far superior when comparing outright throw.

The Mac Aspheric:
Custom Heatsink
Cut-down 1D, grooved and finned
1 x 18650 battery
Cree Xr-E P4 Direct Drive 1.2amps
52mm aspherical lens
Modified bezel
Standard switch

The competitors:

3D Mag w/Terralux TLE-6EXB, UCL lens, (stock reflector)
Mac's Aspherical
MRV SE w/Q5, RCR123s, UCL lens,

***Added Pics***

These were taken at 35 yards against a light colored garage door. Manual setting, 1/2 sec at F4.0

And just for fun, WiseLED 1500 on high

The next three beamshots were taken with manual settings at 15 feet:
1/10th sec. F5.6, ISO 100

35 yard beam shots added. :wave:

Nice shots!

That's so crazy that you can see the shape of the die in the beam. :candle:

Yeah, it was always neat to see other people's beam shots but it's really strange to push the switch and see that shape projected in person. I didn't recall seeing any aspherical beamshots on a large flat surface at some distace so I though it would be fun.

Patriot36, that's the nicest looking M@g on CPF. Congrats, and nice photos/beamshots.

That is WAY cool! I did a similar thing with a magnifying glass and while not nearly so bright I did see the die on a wall 30 odd feet away.

Nice looking light!

That thing must throw a mile ! Cool !

Here you go.

Aspherics are really fun to play with aren't they? Nice beam shots by the way.

Nice beamshots photos. What a different when you turn on the WiseLED Tactical. Night turn to a day light.
