Enjoy!

Very cool. I've been looking at the LuxV model wondering if its output would justify its pricetag, and it seems that it does, and more.

I have the Lux III and have found it very useful...and it costs considerably less than the 5 watt. Interesting that on the high level, the LIII outthrows the five watt...mine outthrows my T3.

I know beamshots can be deceiving, but on the centered beamshots, it sure looks like the III light has a radically brighter hotspot than the V light. Is that just an unexpected artifact or were they possibly switched? I know the purpose of those beamshots is to show the type of beam pattern.

Anyway, thanks again for your work. You are a great resource to us crazy flashlight junkies!

Maybe I missed, but is the sequence off-high-medium-low?

That is the sequence on the III that I have.

Off, high, medium, low on mine.

The Lux III has a tighter and brighter hotspot. The Luxeon V has a wider hotspot with a slightly dimmer center than the rest of the spot and a lot more light output overall.

The size of the Luxeon V element results in the larger, "doughnut" shaped hotspot. This is common among Luxeon V lights including the L2 and L4.

I see... I knew that there had to be something funky going on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
