Yes, ProPoly 4AA Luxeon has decent sidespill; see beamshot and comments in
www.flashlightreviews.com review; webmaster Quickbeam describes spillbeam as "wide"
Additionally, light is actually submersible, rated as "waterproof", not just water resistant. It is also chemical resistant.
Here's some explanation, I hope you find it useful: (sorry for the long post
It has the following hazardous environments approvals:
Class I, Div II, Groups A-B-C-D
Class II, Div II, Groups F-G
Class III, T3C spec
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
(The National Electric Code defines hazardous location classifications and protection techniques. The basic designation is by ''class'' and ''division.''
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
For example, Class I locations are areas where flammable gases may be present in sufficient quantities to produce explosive or flammable mixtures.[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Class II locations can be described as hazardous because of the presence of combustible dust. Class III locations contain easily ignitable fibers and flyings)[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Division 1 designates an environment where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, combustible dusts or ignitable fibers and flyings are likely to exist under normal operating conditions. On the other hand, Division 2 is an environment where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, combustible dusts or ignitable fibers and flyings are not likely to exist under normal operating conditions.)
Hazardous atmospheres are further defined by ''groups.'' These include:[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group A: Atmospheres containing acetylene.
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group B:[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Atmospheres containing hydrogen, gases or vapors of equivalent hazard such as manufactured gas.
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group C: Atmospheres containing ethyl-ether vapors, ethylene, or cyclo-propane.
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group D: Atmospheres containing gasoline, hexane, naptha, benzene, butane, propane, alcohol, acetone, benzol, lacquer solvent vapors, or natural gas.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group F: Atmospheres containing carbon black, coal or coke dust.
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Group G: Atmospheres containing flour, starch, or grain dusts.
It is also rated for mining use by MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Assoc.)
So it is not only waterproof, but is safe to use in almost any circumstance, including explosive gases, combustible vapors or particles, etc.
all for under thirty bucks
Oh. almost forgot: in my opinion, the worst thing about this light is the looks (OMG) it doesn't look "sleek and sexy" like a Surefire or Pelican M6 HAIII
but that's small potatoes. I own about half a doxen of this light.
