12 beamshoots

This article will show some beamshoots from 11 newer lights and two older lights: 4 XR-E (one a triple), 5 MC-E, 2 P7, a HID and one incandescent flashlights. I have included the different levels for many of the lights, giving a total of 35 beamshoots. I have also done a ceiling bounce to get a idea of the actual light output of the different lights.



The lights are: OLight M30 Triton, Fenix TK40, EagleTec M2C4, Lumapower MVP, Epsilon ED-P72, Jetbeam M1X, DereeLight DBS MC-E, NeoFab Legion II, MicroFire Warrior 3500, OLight M20 Warrior, Jetbeam RRT-1 Raptor, Fenix TA30, Maglite 6D


Light output
To get an idea about how much light the put out, I did an ceiling bounce and plotted the measured values into this graph. The Legion II is used as reference, i.e. 100%.


And here is the maximum levels only:


And the minimum levels:
