Updated to 1231. Includes the Imalent DX80.

Thanks again, Bluzie!

I’ve been lurking on this forum for years…not sure why, just never made a username. LOL Seeing the TLF beam shots on BLF made me bite the bullet and finally sign up! Unbelievable work on those beam shots. That is a resource that is invaluable! I find it amazing how two very similar styled lights with the same chip can have two very different beam profiles.

What puzzles me is WHERE/HOW do you get so many lights to test?! Do you run the EU warehouses for Banggood and Amazon? ROFL

Thanks again for the shots, it’s not only eye candy it’s very useful.

Thanks again, Bluzie!

I came across this thread and just WOW. Thanks Bluzie for those beamshots. This is really cool and helpful. :+1:

Last week my friend emax added all the names and a watermark in the pictures.

Thank you emax. :+1:

Nice shot, amazing work.

Back when I bought the first serious flashlight, the TK45, there was a site, I believe it was Russian that had a huge collection of beam shots. It looked like some kind of tunnel or underpass.

Interestingly enough, the beam shots was the decision maker and fairly accurate of my use.

Of course the Q8 crushed the TK45. But i still like the cooler white of the TK45. .

Is that site still active?

PS…great work Bluzie.

Probably this one…. Тесты фонарей: база тестов и сравнения фонариков - проект Fonarevka.ru

Nope. First, there I’d no TK45 in there and that one was some kind of concrete structure.

It was around 2012.

Oh , it may not be that site , but I could find TK45.

Click on “Поиск фонарей в базе” (Search flashlights in the database) in yellow in top left.

Easier if you use english language flag in top right.

Fenix is listed twice , use upper lower case “fenix” to find TK45

Best of luck.

Hmmm…i found a shot of an underpass and a shot of a concrete paking lot. And no TK45. I’m on my phone, when i get to the desktop, I’ll rummage some more.

No big deal other then couriosity. Also those shots convinced back then to spend an unheard of amount of $120 for a flashlight. Actually, i bought 4 ofthem.

It’s here: Тест фонаря Fenix TK45 R5/S2: профессиональный тест в разных режимах светодиодного фонаря Fenix TK45 R5/S2 - Fonarik.com And other flashlights!

THAT IS IT! It’s been several years since I have seen that shot.

Hello, maybe I missed it,

In the beamshots, can someone please tell me the distance to the clay pot on the ground, then the distance to the white sign, and finally the distance to the trees behind the nursery. This would help me out greatly. :wink:

From the Flashlight:

- It is 8.40 m up to the first pillar

- To the pot 18,40 m

- To the white box 40 m

- To the hedge 55 m

- To the oak 120 m

  • The distance between the iron pillars is 4 m

I love his shots but there is a problem with them. It appears that his “targeting changes from light to light. Soem lights appear to have a hot spot rign in front……OR that could be an optical illusion.

What say you Bluzie?

.

The other thing is that beamshot against a wall is very important to me in order to see how the spread is between hot spot and spill. It’s hard to get an opinion on something like this because one’s man floody is another mans “balanced beam”.

Unfortunately, i do not know what you mean by ‘targeting’.
The camera and the flashlight are always in the same place, we have marks on the floor.
The orientation of each individual lamp is made by hand, we try always aim the spot on the white boxes.

First I missed your post just above mine where you gave us the distance. LOL!

I was looking at the beamshot of the BFL A6.

And the modifed Convoy S2

Both of those are the lights I was looking at buying next.

On the BFL, you appear to be centering the hot spot just between the posts and on the second one, at about a meter or two from the feet of the tripod. Where the hot spot is aimed, that’s what I meant by “targeting”.

I noticed that because I was paying a lot of attention to he beam shots particularly since I want a floody light and those two lights in particular.

Do NOT take my comment as a criticisms, because I appreciate the ENORMOUS work you put it to give us all those shots. And of course, many thank you.
