ITP A6 Polestar beamshots comparison
This beamshot is extracted from my Danish A6 review.
I have selected some common MC-E/P7/3*led lights and a HID light for comparison. The following lights are included (Same sequence as photo): ITP A6 Polestar, OLight M30 Triton, EagleTac M2C4, EagleTac M2XC4, Fenix TK40, Titanium L35.
A6 is in the middle of the led lights with the amount of light it produce, M30 is below it, M2C4 is just about the same, M2XC4 and TK40 is brighter. A HID produce much more light.
In this graph I have collected all light levels for all the lights. The A6 and M30 both cover a wide range of brightness with only 3 settings, buth it is a rather big leap from medium to low.
Measuring lux at 4 meters shows that A6 is no thrower, it is the light with the least amount of throw. This is no surprise, because it has a very shallow reflector. No led light can match the HID in throw.

The mimimum brightness is very low on these light, I has increased the exposure on these pictures to better see the beam.
