L1 High Beam vs KL1 Beam

[Lumen]

I'm looking to purchase a KL1 Head for my e2e, but if it's not brighter than the high beam on my L1, then I'm not gonna get it. Anyone have any comparisons on these two beam qualities?

I had an E1e/KL1 latest gen. setup and now I have an L1. Strictly going from memory and lighting up the same shed about 150 feet from my porch they were about the same. The KL1 seemed to have a little tighter beam but that may be production variances. The L1 I am using is a new one with the latest generation head, like a KL4. Older ones had a flood beam and didn't throw like the new KL1.

My new KL1 head beats my new L1 with the Lux III. And the KL1's light is packed into a significantly tighter beam.

The Kl1 absolutely is brighter. Because it is a spot light. I would reccomend kl1.
