Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an NX-01 and a NX-05?

What about between these two and a McFlood?

What about between all of these and a Fraen Low-Profile?

Thanks

NX-01 produces a wide flood type beam (I can't remember the beam angle of this for sure but I think it's 15')
The NX-05 produces a narrower beam angle than the NX-01 (I think 10'). The exact type of beam varies from luxeon types 1W high dome and low dome, 5W etc.

Fraen is a very narrow beam angle, 7'-10' I believe. It puts almost all of the light into the hotspot so there is very little surround light emitted.

Here is what the Fraen (on the left) looks like compared to the NX-05. Both are using 1W high dome luxeons. The NX-05 has a smaller hot-spot with a nice amount of side spill light. The Fraen squeezes all of it's light into one large hotspot.
