061006 edit - added Auroralite minimag hotwire kit beamshots =) unfortunately the gym was locked tonight and i couldn't get in to make those shots, but i did manage the corridor shots.
============
Well, I've just added my most recent aquisition, Mac's Mini-HID (3x17670 flavor) to my regular beamshot pics. Pretty much no comparison in terms of brightness to all of my other lights, but FWIW, here they are, alongside a few other lights for those who are interested
On the left: ISO64 || "Daylight" white balance || f4.0 || 4s, 2s, & 1s || about 30 yards to copier machine.
On the right: ISO 64 || "Daylight" WB || f4.0 || 1s, 1/3s, 1/10s || about 4 yards to bike.
Edit: Also did a constant-on runtime test, with the batteries on their 2nd charge cycle, I got 1h 11m 09s, which isn't too bad at all But I got a lot less runtime on my first cycle, where I had switched the light on and off quite a few times as I played with it. Perhaps the ballast sucks quite a bit of juice out of the batteries when you turn the light on
Auroralite mm-hotwire kit spot focus:
Auroralite mm-hotwire kit wide 'focus':
Pila GL4 (old 195 lumen version):
SF A2:
Mini-HID Tight Focus:
Mini-HID Wide Focus (relatively):
SF U2 2xCR123:
HD45 WWOT:
SFIII:
and just for kicks,
Pila GL4 & 2 SF A2s:
