IMHO, This light is the most amazing light i have ever touched. You can call me anything you want, cause I got 2. The only thing that is better is the great light head condom and carry bag that Neal got together. Thank You to the team! There is a round of golf claps to Neal for the fine accessories!

In my opinion, you come off sounding disrespectful or arrogant like your superior to everyone else. Even your post above sounds kinda rude. I’m not a good judge of tone, but maybe you sound aggressive or that you want to fight?
I don’t know exactly what it is. Maybe based on the words you use and the things you say, your triggering people? IDK.
On a friendly forum like BLF were we try to be helpful and nice, any type of negative attitude stands out.
I dont have any lux measuring equiment… but by looking just with the eye you can see a pretty big difference. When looking at both reflectors you can see the ring marks in both but apart from that mine is pretty clear, my dads light is less mirror like. It almost functions like a very ligt OP that makes the hotspot just a little bit wider. I will try to make some more beamshots also on moonlight.
If the reflectors so much different, they can not be good focussed for each reflector.
For my GT, I think its not well focussed, the beam is getting thicker and thicker.
I compared my GT with my Astrolux MF02 and it seems that the GT is not realy brighter than the MF02, but the hotspot is smaller than the MF02 (which is not good focussed too). But you have to remember, that I have a faulty LED: BLF GT official support thread [FAQ updated 11 Jan 2018] - #145 by Wieselflinkpro
You could try adding a couple pieces of paper under the black centering thing. See if that makes it better or worse. (this moves the reflector away from the emitter)
If better, add a couple more pieces of paper.
If worse, then you might have to sand down the bottom of the black piece to make it a tiny bit thinner. (this moves the reflector closer to the emitter)
Its less in reall life i guess, the photo makes one spot brighter.
What i also tried is put them on moon light mode and walk towards the wall i will see a square(the led) with mine GT, the other GT there is never really a square it always kinda stays a cirlcle. Maybe other people can try this and tell what they see(or picture)
It’s btw in no way any criticism. Both light throw extremly well. Just slight difference in beam profile, but with so much variables its expected that there are some.
I’m going to measure throw of my GT and Nicolaas’ GT somewhere next week, it seems that you and/or your dad are also in or near Amsterdam?, we could make it a 4x GT session then if you are interested.
