Hi, everyone.
I thought I'd pay back all the great info and
enjoyable reading with some beamshots of various flashlights.
The images were shot with a nice Canon DLSR, and white balance is set
to sunlight, so the colors should be very 'accurate'. To the eye,
the tints are less saturated, but visible as in the photos. Please
remember that the hot spots are 'blown' in some of the pics (the
camera couldn't expose higher, so the white areas are actually
brighter than they appear to be!)
Since I just got the SC52, I'll note that a ceiling comparo shows the
SC52 as marginally brighter than the RRT0, and significantly brighter
than the QAA. The SC52 appears nearly identical to the HP11 with
it's 'diff' diffuser in place.
With fresh Eneloops, the SC52 ran 55 minutes on H1, while the RRT0
was still going strong 15 minutes later, and I shut it off, too. The
SC52 was brighter up till the last 10 minutes.
You should be able to download a bigger size of the following image
from here, so you can read the text:
