A9 owners, does this sound right?

[Steve Curtis]

Over the weekend I went shooting up in the mountains (no light pollution) my A9 ( smooth reflector ) with fresh Panasonic cells was out thrown and out powered by my 4D maglite with Terralux 6EX (factory reflector) with 4 month old Duracell cells , I expected much more from the A9 considering it should have over 100 Lumen more than the 6EX mag.

would you consider this to be normal ? I played around with the mags focus so it has the same spill as the A9s beam and its still had more throw and spill brightness , could this be a duff Q5


both were able to throw 200 + yards to a cliff face but after looking at some of the past beam shots i though the A9 would be stronger by a big margin.


This isn't a moan just a question to owners


thanks
Steve
