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
3D mag w/Terralux
MRV Q5 RCR123
Mac's Aspherical
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
3D mag w/Terralux
MRV Q5 RCR123
Mac's Aspherical
The next three beamshots were taken with manual settings at 15 feet (slightly zoomed) 1/500th sec. F5.6, ISO 100
