I thought I'd post this photo I took earlier comparing the beamspots of these two very fine modified heads.
Left is my newest McLux 917ma PR head on an E2e. I believe it is a TVOK Lux III. On the right is a KL-3 from Chop with a TWOK Lux III, Fraen LP and run at 1.2A.
Both of these a very white, but for some reason the photos came out with a green tint. So I reduced the saturation to about 10% and it makes them look almost like B&W shots. However, this is how the beamspots appear to my eyes.
I reduced the exposure otherwise at this close range they would have freaked my camera out. These are both extremely bright and intense lights. I think you can get an idea from the intensity of the hotspots.
The Mc917 on the left has a perfectly round beamspot without the slightest artifacts or distortions. It's hotspot is also perfectly round, the bulge at 1-2 o'clock is just a reflection on the enamel paint. The Mc917's crisp edged, creamy smooth spill is about 7 feet in diameter at 5-6 feet. The hotspot is about 10-12" in diameter at the same distance.
You can see the Chop KL-III with the Fraen LP throws a very intense rectangular beam spot. The lenses are only 6" from the door. At 10 feet, the KL-III's rectangular spot covers the refrigerator.
