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.
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. 
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.
Critical comments are welcome, so we can improve the shots. :+1:
OH GREAT! Can I get 10 meter black and white wall shots with all the outputs of every light going back 5 years? Just asking…… :confounded:
A decade back, I used a Russian site to make up my mind about what to buy. Now, I’m looking at your site to decide between the colors and spread of a light. Particularly the BLF and Convoy.
About the shots…….how high are the lights? If they are at 1 meter, perhaps a “target” at 700mm and focusing the center of the light at it? That “should ” put the hot spot somewhere in the center of the garden. It would also have a relationship with eye level at 1.5 meters?
Have you already listed the methodology and I missed it?
Again, just a suggestion and by no means ANY criticism.
Thank you for this information. Your work and dedication is VERY MUCH appreciated!!!
Bluzie, when you say, “the hedge” is 55 meters away, do you mean the pine trees behind the bench? And then the oak trees are the much taller the trees behind them, that a lot of your beamshots do not reach and light up ?
For example: My Olight X7 lights up the furthest trees with 9,000 lumens, but the Elzetta Charlie does not, am I correct? And do these beamshots closely replicate what the average human eye sees in real life ?
Hope not too many questions and too complicated Bluzie… :person_facepalming:
