Beamshot of AAA lights, September 2011
This time I have only include a few new lights: Olight i3, Illuminati Al and Sunwayman R01A.
Some other AAA beamshots: Juli 2011, Marts 2011, October 2010, July 2010, Juni 2010, January 2010, ITP A3 EOS and Maratac AAA comparison, AAA flashlights
I have included the following lights (Same sequence as picture): Olight i3, ITP A3 EOS Upgrade, Illuminati Ti, Illuminati Al, Sunwayman R01A, Fenix E01, Fenix E05, Fenix LD01, 4Sevens Preon ReVO, 4Sevens Preon.
All lights has been tested with NiMH (eneloop) batteries.
This chart shows the total light output measured with a ceiling bounce. The two lights with 5 mm leds (R01A and E01) are very weak compare to a power led, the E05 is is a single level light where the level is selected to be a typical medium brightness.
Many of the lights has 3 brightness settings with good spread between, especially the low is very low for some lights. The Univex looses all modes when using LiIon batteries.
These small lights can not be throwers, but there is some difference in the focusing. The Univex with TIR has a wider beam than the reflector version. Using a LiIon battery will increase the throw, because the total light output is increased.
A few of the stainless steel lights are on the heavy side, but most lights keeps the weight around 30 gram including a battery.
In this table I have summarized the abilities of the lights. Some of the ligts exists in versions with different led and also in different materials. For the user interface I use the following abbreviations: Head: Loose/tight head, TS: Tail switch, ETS:Electronic tail switch. The LMH (Low, Medium, High) is the brightness sequence.
The Univex is a titanium light, making the price considerabel higher than the other lights. The black bars are lights that is not sold anymore.
