DSC_8167

DSC_8169

These lights are rather bulky and I had to split them over two pictures. The last light in the first picture and the first light in the second picture are about the same length.
On the first picture (Same sequence as on picture): DereeLight DBS XR-E R2, DereeLight DBS MC-E, DereeLight CL1H, DereeLight aspherical, JetBeam RRT-1 Raptor, JetBeam RRT-2 Raptor, Tiablo A10, Fenix TK11, Fenix TK20, Fenix TK40, Epsilon ED-P71 and Epsilon ED-P72.
Second picture (Same sequence as on picture): SolarForce L950m, Lunapower MVP, JetBeam M1X, EagleTac M2C4, OLight M30 Triton, Neofab Legion II, OMG Lumens DEFT, MicroFire Warrior, Titanium L35 and in the front a incandescent Maglite 6D.

BrightnessMax

The first graph shows all lights at maximum brightness and the HID lights are of course the brightest lights, followed by MC-E, P7 and triple LED lights, with the single led lights at the bottom. The big incandescent Mag is about the same as a single led.

Brightness

Combining all the brightness settings in one graph, show the range the lights can handle and also how the brightness steps are selected for each light. The Legion II has 5 steps, but only covers a small brightness range, where M30 with 3 steps covers a much wider range.

BrightnessLux1

BrightnessLux2

These two graphs show brightness (lux) at 4 meters distance, again the HID wins, but the aspherical are not the weakest lights in this discipline even though they are single leds. Next comes the throwers and just below the throwers are the most focused P7 and MC-E lights. But as can be seen from the pictures below, great throw with low total light output, has its price, only a small area is illuminated.

Maximal Brightness, width reduces exposure
These pictures are a new series with 3 steps lower exposure, usual I only do 2 steps lower and uses the same pictures as above, but this time I wanted to get the HID's under control.

DereeLight DBS XR-E R2
DSC_8145

The light is equipped with OP reflector and 3SD Q3 led module, this is not the best combination for throw, it is possible to order it with a smooth reflector and a R2 module for more throw.
The light uses 1x18650 battery and has 3 levels that can be stepped between with a fast off/on sequence.
