Kl1 verses M6 LED ( Shots please??)

[Cornkid]

I have the kl1 last generation coming to my house right now. My brother... on the other hand... just recieved the M6 LED. It has a nic beam and ok throw. Is there anyway I could see pictures comparing these two?

If you're getting it in a few days, why don't you just do a real-world comparison rather than forcing someone to go to the trouble of taking and posting beamshots?

 

[Cornkid]

Then I am sorry for asking.

Perhaps Tom wanted to get an idea of whether the KL1 and PM6-LED he's soon to compare were typical? Beamshots could help he get an idea of what to expect.

You never know, some people may actually enjoy taking and posting beamshots - helping out other members and all.

From this thread other members could decided whether they need to get either the KL1 or Pelican (or both!)

Respectfully,

I'm just a bit frustrated with these Costco lights.

Look at the lux numbers, I think the KL1 will out throw it with a tinier hot spot

It's probably not what you have in mind, but you can put the flashlightreviews beam shots from the two side by side. And it does indeed look, based on that, like the KL1 should have a smaller hot spot:

the hotspot of the KL1 is only tinf if shined on white wall at small distance, a longer distance, the visible hotspot of the Kl1 is maybe 2 times bigger then that of the Peli M6 LED. The KL1 hotspot (at long distance) is also 2 visibly brighter.

The Peli M6 LEd is a good thrower with good sidespill, and the KL1 is a very good thrower but with really tiny sidespill.
