Hi all. I just acquired a Borealis & was really happy with it, so I took a few beamshots + comparisons.
First of, BlackBear Flashlight's service was second to none. This Borealis puts out 1000+lumens & is very lite, with very good runtime. A superb practical small light.
Its my fav new small light. It feels like a weapon, & with the stipled reflector it puts out a very nice beam that is good for 100-150m no worrys IMO. Then theres the flood which I found useful too.
I compared it to some other ROFL cheap halogen lights like 1MCP spotlight & the RT500 (both 6v 55w with pathetic runtimes). The Borealis totally outperformed, with descent runtime, & is alot brighter then the RT500 & simular to the 1MCP. So I decieded just for fun, to give the Borealis a little competition. I put a 130w H3 bulb in the RT500. The RT 500 really needs a diffuser lens. The RT500 looks a little brighter in the pic I posted then in person. Not sure why, probably camera. Obviously the 130w has alot more light, but the Borealis has a better beampattern & is very lite n compact & practically.
I couldnt get any other shots of it in my yard or at a tree etc, my #$@!$% camera just got me frustrated, no matter what settings, it didn't look good enough to post.
Anyway a good compact, lite, practically, light.
Later.
