I pulled the diffuser from my military anglehead and was amazed at the tight focus of the SMJLED PR2 bulb. It was a nice tight hotspot with a dimmer, but gargantuan spill. (As a note, I remove the extension ring from the lens end of my angleheads to permit more spill beam). I should have taken it outside and to see how far it would throw, but I think it would be no slouch here for a modest bulb. With the small/shallow reflector on the anglehead I was a bit concerned about focus, especially a donut hole in the beam. No worries here.
I put the diffuser back on and prefer the larger, more diffuse, hotspot. As a work/utility light I much prefer a broad, smooth, flood. The SMJLED in the anglehead did not dissapoint. I still believe the incan with fresh batts puts out more overall light, but the LED is much whiter and should provide a significant advantage with regards to batt life and bulb life.
I used this combo around the house last night to complete my pre-sleep chores (find and toss out cats, bathroom rituals, and securing the house). The LED anglehead was superb. It worked nicely as a ceiling bounce light in the bathroom. Not too much light. Not too little light. To quote Goldilocks, "Just right".
IMHO, the SMJLED PR2 is the best upgrade available for a military anglehead flashlight (when considering cost, batt life, bulb life, bulb ruggedness, simplicity of upgrade, and pure all around utility). If you have an anglehead, try one of these bulbs and some clear contact paper as a diffuser (be sure to remove the extension ring if you want flood). If you don't have an anglehead, I'd encourage you to pick one up and do an LED upgrade.
My angleheads had pretty much been relegated to the back of the shelf for emergency use. I like it so much now, that it will definitely see the "light of day" more often. Errr... more "day to day" use. Uhhh...."Night to Night" use. (much better).
