HD Super vs E-Series Beam Shots

[kerneldrop]

So, no one is throwing lumens in Louisiana. The moisture in the air or mosquitoes just eat it.
@Cree XHP 70 LED and his Olight Gulfstream-Cold-Air-Turbo 30000 isn't throwing over 250 yards down here.
@PoliceScannerMan

Shot with an Iphone @ 1x with all photo enhancements turned off...but sometimes it did funky stuff.
Setting: Golf course Out to 300 yards

Findings:
1) The E1HT is the little engine that could
2) The E2S is an excellent all-around performer

Awesome!! Thanks for the pictures. Gene should give you a cut of all lights bought due to these pics!

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Those are great Kernel! Thank you for sharing. That E1 though!! Amazing how they all hang with the ole hound.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

That E2S looks like a winner. Love that beam. Nice flood with that throw.

Fantastic shots and comparison! I really need to try one of the larger Malkoffs at some point.

I'm not sure how popular the E1HT is but it's a performer.

E1 claims to get around 45-60 mins off a CR123. The Super HD claims to get around 60 mins off 18650s in high. I suppose it comes down to how much spill and how large of a hot spot one needs. The E1 works very well for my terrain….that's probably why I'm so fond of it.

Malkoff would strike gold if they could put a High-Low switch in that E2S.

If I had to pick one to take to the woods I would go E1 bc of its size and run time. Hogo made me a Cr123 holster that has a spare battery pouch. Others are more impressive but you give up size and runtime.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

You could always find a old McGizmo McE2s (something like that) switch hmmm lol. Two stage twisty cap, like SF L1.

Before you go head to head HD vs Javelot, you gotta drop them on to concrete from 8ft first.

 

[kerneldrop]

I see what you mean. Your camera is way off. Most of the E1HT pics have much brighter lights from the buildings. That camera is all over the place. 😆

You have radiation poisoning from that Olight.
The E1HT just makes everything around it that much brighter.

 

[Owen]

Because its beam is that much dimmer.
Need to use manual settings for beamshots.

 

[kerneldrop]

I'm going to take a Scott Kelby course, watch some Fro knows Photo, break out a real camera and tripod, and recreate the E1HT magic.

Gonna turn haters into believers

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Nice shots Cree!

 

[thermal guy]

Glitch in the matrix?😁

 

[knucklegary]

Must be the Matrix.. I got up this morning wearing two pairs of underwear

 

[ledbetter]

Throw Throw Throw. What a bunch of nonsense. Who needs to see across a golf course or a football field? If I'm that drunk, I need to see where my feet are going! Like any other normal guy, I love a good giggle, but besides that, what's the point?

But I love the pics, and agree that the e1t for its size is pretty awesome. And since Gene was kind enough to send me a coupon, I'm ordering one! I'm hoping it's a boosted version of my old M30, but sadly without the voltage range.

Contradiction? Of course! That's flashaholicism for you.

 

[kerneldrop]

I could buy out Malkoff's entire website right now if I wanted to. 😆

He's only got like 2 flashlights in stock.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Oh dang, I didnt think about the E1 on 2xAA hmmmmmmm

 

[kerneldrop]

May I offer you some flood, or are you more of a mix of throw and flood? Okay, I am done for a while. I have guns that won't clean themselves.

There's 1,000 yards set up for F-Class and BR.
I need to throw there to practice for the throw-down.

Zoomed in

 

[desert.snake]

Very cool shots!

If you can do more, could you put a similar target like on your avatar and aim at it? The strength of the reflection back will be better understood at a distance

 

[kerneldrop]

I went back through the photos...and although technically flawed, they do accurately represent the decreasing lumen progression that I saw.
I'm going to do it again with a camera on manual...i've got it charging.
