mmm beamshots

[Yoda4561]

Finally got off my butt and took some beamshots of some of my more often used lights. Camera is on manual exposure, tried to get the settings as close to "what you see" as possible, though the exposures aren't quite perfect they're pretty close and use identical camera settings. The energizer 1AA appears a little brighter (you can vaguely make out the bench IRL), the scorpion due to its full spectrum makes it more effective than the photo would indicate, and the first M60 shot looks a little brighter in the picture than it does in person. Also I used auto-white balance on the camera, the **edit** P60L and pallide aren't as blue to the eye but they're definately bluer than anything else I shot.

EDIT: Distance to bench is about 130 feet/40 meters.

Nice shots, but where are the big guns

That M60 sure does put out, a lot of light, that is. The heat sinking is amazing, just feel the weight of the drop in. Very solid unit.

Unfortunately the only bigger guns I have are my truck's headlights
