Oh, that's a long post :D Thank you for your kind comments.
This was one of the requests/questions a while back when I posted the first LEP video, to show the difference between a LED thrower and LEP thrower. So I thought this was a good comparison between 2 amazing performers.
As you said, the beams are too tight for most close up stuff. The farther you go, the more useful the beam becomes. Those 3km LEPs are probably best at 500 meters and beyond.
Next up I will be trying to compare a 1Mcd beam, 2Mcd beam, 3Mcd beam and 4Mcd beam. The first 3 from the Maxtoch L2Kd (all 3 modes are just around the million candela) and the Owleyes is at 4Mcd.
Always welcome to request a video.. not sure if I can always fulfil it though :D
