Hey all,

I've acquired a few lights and lost a few, so I think it is time for a little beamshot update! This could be seen as an update to this thread.

I'll let the beamshots do most of the talking...I used the manual setting on my camera and did no further touch ups to any of the photos. The target is a flowery bush about 50 feet away.

The following shots are of a tree that is about 200 feet away.

Here is a shot with all the beamshots compiled for easier comparison:

As you can see from the A3 XR-E upgrade, the main difference is in the sheer brightness of the spill. But that doesn't mean the hotspot isn't brigher, as my A3 with the luxeon measures about 6500 Lux @ 1 meter, while the CREE measures about 12,500 lux @ 1 meter. The mCree XR27-C measures about 3800 lux@ 1 meter.
