I got motivated to do these because of this thread where I was extolling the possible virtues of the 5761. jwl asked if I had beamshots of the 5761 and of course I didn't because I've never tried to do any. These are quick and dirty off the basement ceiling, but I think they illustrate the interesting distinctions of the 5761. If I ever get up the energy I want to try some outdoor shots, the only true "beamshot" as far as I'm concerned, but these "spotshots" look like what I'm used to with the respective lights in use outdoors.
The ceiling is basically white.
Canon Powershot 610; M@125; color temp auto. The lights were separated by about 2 feet with the camera between them. About 4 feet to the ceiling for the lights and 5 for the camera.
5761 - 12xCPB1650 in a 6x2 S/P setup; M2-MOP; HotDriver at 7.2
1185 - 9x4/5A; M2-MS; [email protected]
1274 - 8xTitanium 2600; M2-MS; [email protected]
1331 - 3x17760; M2-MS; [email protected]
These seem to be lower exposed than most people's but they look okay to me and I'm way too lazy to do it again. There's been no post processing of any kind except to crop.

The last shot is a "control," to make the similarity obvious between almost identical output lights with different bulbs. My assumption when I decided to try the 5761 was that it would be a 1185 alternative output wise, but indoors it appears much brighter. I'm headed outside later to see how they compare (just got the '85 back today.)
Hope someone finds these useful. The 5761, if you can drive it, is a pretty interesting beam.
