Hi all - I have a similar post over in the Prometheus sub-forum, but decided that some of you might not visit there regularly. This is just a quick beam shot comparison of some fairly popular lights, including the awesome Prometheus Alpha


Camera is a Canon 40D, shutter color temp locked at 5000k, shutter at 6/10, f7.1, IS01000. All lights at their max settings. Distance to shed approximately 50 feet

Control - daylight - sun setting off to the right of the shot


Control - night - light pollution from lights outside building (12V warm LEDs, plus the bedroom window off to the left)


Just for grins - Lumintop Tool (copper) with Nichia 219B


Old faithful - HDS Rotary Tactical with XPG2


Armytek Prime C2 with warm XPL


Zebralight SC62w


And the Prometheus Alpha with MCE Neutral emitter

Nice! The MCE has such a gorgeous tint. No trace of green in it.
Thx for the post!

Nice comparison, thanks for taking the time to do it.

I love the beam on my MC-E neutral Alpha but it's definitely more of an all around light. It lacks the throw for good outdoors use.
