How's the beam? Is it flood or more of a spot?

More spot than flood, not as spot as X1, but tighter than PM6 Led (even though not out-throwing PM6 Led due to weaker output, or overdriven PM6 Led).

More spot for sure. The flood is made up of layers of rings so not really that usable but it will light up an area.

Some beamshots taken at roughly 6 feet against an off-white wall:

1) Inova X0 on left, Surefire E2e w/ MN03 on right.

2) Inova X5 on left, Inova X0 on right.

The X0 beam is a little tight, and bright, for use as an indoors work light, but I really like it for use outdoors at night. I am very pleased with mine.

I agree with geek, it's a great outdoor light at night. throws very far for a 1 watt and good runtime.
