Newly Enlightened
The first set of shootout pics was done in my lounge at home.
Flashlights used were the Dorcy International 43-4234 keychain light, and LED Lenser lights Frogman (37 lumen), H7 Headlamp (140.2 lumen Max Beam), P14 (172 lumen Max Beam) and X7 (1068 lumen Max Beam).
The Dorcy was enough for me to see things in a spot around the house with (I use it all the time), but didn't even show up on camera. The Frogman was brighter than the Dorcy, and definitely bright enough to see things with my eyes, but came out so dark on camera I didn't feel it was worth posting.
Both the P14 and X7 use 3 different modes - Low Beam, High Beam and Max.
Low Beam = 1 click.
High Beam = 2 clicks.
Max Brightness is achieved by pressing and holding the button. High Beam is supposed to use only 75% of the energy that Max Brightness uses.

1st, a shot of the lounge with household lights on (2 fluorescent and 1 incandescent) to give you a rough idea of what it looks like BEFORE going dark and doing this small shootout.
Next, the control (all lights off)
H7 on Max focussed to point of no black inside of beam
P14 on High Beam (not Max) focussed to point of no black inside of beam
X7 on High Beam Spot
X7 on Max Spot
P14 on Max Full Flood (Notice how wide the flood is! Lights up almost the entire frame!)
X7 on High Beam Full Flood
X7 on Max Full Flood
More to come! Next post: X7 vs. car headlights!
