Ok first off I didn’t know exactly where this belonged as far as the category , so I figured the “general” category would work.
I was not able to sleep tonight (last night) yet (4am here now) so mainly out of boredom , I went out about an hour and a half ago and did some beamshots with 10 of my lights.
5 of them are actual C8’s and the others are of fairly comparable size.
All of the lights I used tonight are modded to some degree with most of them fully modded, The only exception to this is the Acebeam L16 , which I have left in stock form , as I like it just the way it came.
I thought it could possibly be helpful to anyone who may be curious what the beams on any of these lights look like after being modded , if they have been considering modding , or having one of these particular lights modded.
The shots were all taken at 160 yards from the front of the barn and I did my best to keep the center of the beam aimed at the door opening on the front of the barn with each light.
The lights used will be listed above each picture as to which one it is. The Mods done will also be listed as to what parts such as the emitter , driver and so forth were used along with which light it is above each picture as you go down the page.
So here they are starting with…………………

Thorfire JM07 // OP reflector polished out to smooth - slight current bump on stock driver - Dedomed XM-L2 U2 1D ( I think that tint is right) on Noctigon - 20 awg spring bypasses
Brinkman C8 //(This one has a really deep Reflector and super tight beam) LD2 driver - XM-L2 U2 1D (HD) on Noctigon - 20 awg spring bypasses
