kinda OT on the pwr and beam question's,',,
I love my basic 60 (non GT), enough i plan on getting a U60.
One thing i noticed on this light was how smooth the beam is, both the throw and spill. I kinda thought it wasn't really near 60 lumens. but after having a flashlight party
with my other light's, both LED and incan, The basic on high kept up with the E2d, and KL-1,( the two small light's
I know for sure are putting out 20 lm) and the throw showed a lot of defination and clarity. (the KL-1 is also very good at this)
I think it put's out pretty close to what it's rated for,
but does so with a great tint, beam, and spot to spill ratio.
it's tint seem's softer and more natural then my other led's. The KL-1 has a great bright throw, very search light looking, were the Q-III seem's to flood your eye's out from seeing what throw it has (not much) but anything my 4th gen
KL-1 or E2d could light up so could my basic.
I think Henry hit on a very good combo of beam shape, tint, and power and it sorta sneek's up on you.VDG
