Got a Surefire 6P Defender (Incan) from LA Police on closeout for $50. With it being an Incan(battery sucker) and rated by SF at only 60 Lumens I went ahead and ordered a LED Drop-in from Solarforce to put in it (will probably get a Nailbender later just wanted something cheap to play with first lol) ... But I have to say I am very impressed with the brightness and throw from this stock incan that came in it.
I found a place to test some lights out its an empty parkinglot with no direct lighting with a 4 story building on 1 end that is empty/blacked out at night.
I took a Mag XL100, Rominsen Aspheric(C3?), Xeno F8, Surefire 6P, and a Maglight 2D running on 6AA with a Terralux 3 XPG in it and shined them at this building, its about 120-150 feet away.
The 6P was very throwy (imo) a big spot on the wall with little flood to the surrounding area but was definetly brighter then I expected.
The Xeno F8 was noticably brighter than 6p and had a large spot with generous spill around it lit up a large portion of the wall as a whole.
The XL100 was able to reach out that far but was not terribly bright or much of a discernible spot/flood.
The Rominsen Aspheric was nice, large square spot on the side of the building, pretty bright too.
The Terralux mod'd Mag was by far brighter then the others and was easily visible on the building in all 3 levels.(it cycles 1 LED then 2 then all 3) With all 3 LEDs on it lit up almost the entire side of the building.
I'll go back out there once I get the led drop-in and maybe try my hands at some beam shots(Noob) but I am limited on time since I do this on my lunch hour at work LOL and hopefully wont get the cops called on me
Anyway... thanks for reading(if you do)
