I felt like comparing some of my lights, so I got the tripod and camera out as soon as it got dark and had some fun. Here's the lineup:
As you can see, I tested the G2z with three different lamp assemblies, the ROP with both the high and low bulbs, and the stock mag reflector on the low bulb (for max throw), and lastly: I tested the MN10 and MN11 in the M3 both with the stock 3xCR123 surefire body, and with the 2x18650 leef body (it's brighter on the 18650's!). All pictures are taken with a Canon 30D on a tripod with a cable release at F8.0, 1/3 second, auto white balance. Pictures are intentionally underexposed to avoid blowing out the beamshot photos on the higher output lights, and to aid in comparisons. Let the pictures begin:
below: U2 high
below: L2 high
below: WE 6mx explorer, 100 lumen lamp, 18650
below: G2Z, P60 lamp
below: G2Z, P61 lamp
below: G2Z, GP-HP-9v lamp w/ 2x R123 unprotected
below: stock M3, MN10
below: stock M3, MN11
below: Leef body M3, MN10 (2x18650)
below: Leef body M3, MN11 (2x18650)
below: ROP-LE-low, stock mag reflector (throw monster)
below: ROP-LE-low, HS reflector
below: ROP-LE-high, HS reflector
some side-by-side comparisons to make it easy for you:
