4sevens XM18 beamshot. warning.... warning pics heavy

This my first thread here, just want to share what the beast can do :devil:
I receive this light few days ago after almost 3 months waiting. I spend a little time to play with it last night.
Here they are




Get Friends to test with the beast. Olight X6 and Polarion PH50 and a cheapo ultrafire XML T6 900lumens


And the party begin..

Nice beam shots, it looks like a huge hopspot that lights up a large area. I like the beam

Thanks for posting the pics Goldy!

I pergi Indoneisa minggu depan... Goldy kat mana? Rick

nice photos!

Just a fantastic comparison thread ! You picked some great lights - the XM18 pics are great, and a nice package with case and all.
The shots between the Olight X6 and PH50 are priceless - besides the color temp, it looks like the X6 holds it's own.
What do you guess the distance is?

Thanks and great job!

Thanks guys, lovecpf

@rick, I'm from Jakarta if that what you asked.
@sledhead, distance info added.

Thanks

Thanks for the beamshots! I've been waiting on them for sometime now, it looks like it's got a very floody beam! The output is definitely not new, i.e. a 80 dollar LarryK14 custom had this kind of output 10 years ago but its runtime and ease of use makes it a useable light, and certainly an easy way to experience high wattage HID output! I might get one down the road.

Damn! I want one -but so expensive

Woah man! you kinda look like Ironman firing his chest repulsor!

Really great beamshots! Being a "big light" guy, I really appreciated the comparison. Thanks for taking the time!

Just re-familiarized myself with the dimensions and weight. 12.5lbs, holy cow, it better put out some light!

I'd love to own one of these but at that weight I don't know how I'd work it into a practical niche, not than practicality is the only justification.

:wave:OMGosh. Thank you so much. This is what I need to make a decision. If I win the LOTTO I get them all.

I've listened to many of your reviews and appreciate your comments.
You add value and reason to the pictures and specifications.
Thank you.

Thanks for the beamshot photos. I've really been wondering about this beast of a light and as a big fan of foursevens products it's great to see it in action.

The blue tint is so ugly...yikes! :green:

So much light diffusion, how are you supposed to even see your target? Give me a neutral/warm light.

Time to mod the XM18 with eighteen XM-L2 Neutral tint emitters?

Wow... thanks for the beamhots! The XM18 made Polarion look like a candle.

Without a known pre-set white balance of the camera, you have absolutely no idea how "blue" that beam is. Chances are, it's exactly the same color tint as all other cool-white XML LEDs, i.e., it looks white to the eye.
