Intimidator & Howitzer beamshots and lux readings

[jirik_cz]

I had a chance to take some beamshots and lux readings of Xtar D30 Howitzer (new version) and Olight SR90 Intimidator.

I took the lux readings from 4 meters distance and converted them to 1 meter distance. Taking measurement from 1 meter is not accurate for these flashlights with large reflectors.

Olight SR90 Intimidator high - 112600 lux
Olight SR90 Intimidator low - 32900 lux
Xtar D30 Howitzer high - 19800 lux

And some other lights for comparison:

G&P 35W HID - 143000 lux
Tiablo A9 aspherical lens - 67500 lux
24W Tactical HID - 40000 lux
Dereelight DBS V2 R2 - 29100 lux
EagleTac M2XC4 - 27500 lux
Jetbeam M1X - 26800 lux

As you can see, the Intimidator has an amazing throw and is definitely in the HID league!

Here are some beamshots. You can find more in my czech article here.

Nice! Thanks for the great info!

is it just me the howitzer comes in last? Is it a typo on the lux readings. It just seems that the howitzer should blow away the m1x in therory. Just wondering.

Howitzer has quite wide beam with a lots of spill, M1X has much tighter beam...

Thanks for posting. This was needed. Very nice throw on this and WOW brightness!

Mmm...I was going to get a TK45 when it comes out. Think I'll put the money towards one of these.

Many thanks jirik_cz, that is exactly the info that I was looking for.

The only thing that put me off purchasing the Intimidator is its size.

However with that kind of throw and output, its becoming increasingly difficult to refrain from this. :bow:

Are you pleased with yours? Would you recommend it?

oh my goodness! the lux on that is off the charts.
im itching to get my hands on this, but i fear if i use it at the airport, airport operations and police would be on me in a second.

 

[jirik_cz]

Are you pleased with yours? Would you recommend it?

Yes, absolutely. It is big, heavy and expensive, but the output is just crazy for a LED light.

very impressive for a led light :huh:

thanks for the review and beam shots :twothumbs

AWESOME BEAMSHOTS!!!!

I think the Howitzer is much bigger that the
Intimidator, right? Do you have a pic with size comparison?

 

[englishfire]

i don't think the howitzer is much bigger. the intimidator is longer .

At least the head is much bigger in diameter...

So i think the Intimidator is easier to handle with?!
Ok and its much brighter...

 

[englishfire]

The Howitzer is larger in diameter (108mm vs. 100mm). But it only costs half the price of the sr90. and in the howitzer you can use any 18650 accus.
