I just bought an amazing light that has me in awe! It is the Dorcy Industrial Rechargeable Xenon Lantern, which is is a yellow lantern style spotlight (it does not advertise as being a spotlight so that is why I felt it was best to post this here
), which is a little bigger than a 6 volt floating lantern.
What has me in awe about this light is that it is the same size as the N30 HID searchlight, and is only rated at 102 lumens, but it focuses the white light into a laser thin beam that equals my 3 million candlepower twin beam Vector spotlight throw! It has hardly in spill and no corona, and its entire beam is as narrow/thin as the Power On Board HID's little pinpoint hotspot, and it is the narrowest beam I have ever seen in person. I am blown away by it! I was testing it against the N30 and it had easily 70% the throw. The Dorcy EASILY out throws my 1 million candlepower spotlights.
When I shined it in the sky it was able to cloud bounce on some low clouds, and its beam is like a parallel laser than goes on forever into the sky. It advertises a 4 hour runtime which is great.
It put a small bright spot on trees 200 yards away and put a spot on the top of a high rise.
I have a great appreciation for long distance throwers with laser thin beams. The Dorcy is in no way practical but it sure is thrilling to shine it at distant trees or buildings as its almost like a laser pointer. I have never owned a light with this narrow of a beam angle, and it has quite an amazing effect. The beam is incredibly concentrated and intense. This Dorcy Xenon Lantern flashlight feels really nice to hold and has a very comfortable handle.
The build quality is quite good, and it feels featherweight compared to other spotlights and large flashlights. I am amazed out how it keeps up with my 3 and 5 million candlepower spotlights. It has a lot more throw than the Coleman 530 lumen LED spotlight and a much brighter, smaller spot. I think this light is great for anyone just looking for a fun and compact thrower!:thumbsup:
