dang … you guys made me go outside in the cold just to satisfy your argument…anyway i’m curious also…
so here’s the shot… still using Trustfire wf 502b, distance to the back wall is about 80’
control shot
before (no hotspot… as Trustfire WF-502b is a flooder)
First time poster here. I just had to join up after seeing this. This is a great thread guys! I’m sure glad I found this place. It’s really interesting!
scaru… are you using the same light as i have?.. there’s no way that trustfire WF 502b have a hotspot like that.
unless it was shot within 10” away
try shooting it farther… like my distance around 80’
by then you’ll see Trustfire wf 502b will no longer have hotspot anymore.
all of you that think otherwise… judge it by yourself… take a simple test,get a magnifying glass and point the light to the middle of it… depending the size of the flashlight… hold it between 8” to 13” and see it for yourself.
and feel free to take it outside and see for yourself… please note this mod won’t work well with multiple LEDs
then come back over here on this thread and let’s compare shots
i’m pretty sure it can throw farther than that 80’ distance
It's a TK35 clone, but the concept is the same. I did exactly as you suggested and got some quite clear cut results. I'll add these were taken at approximately 50 feet.
Daylight, a point and shoot does not have the same exposure settings each time. It has a computer chip that decides how to set the exposures. On my camera I set the exposures to the same standard Brad, trooplewis, and Rick use and both shots were from the same exact position.
And I have taken the challenge myself, now that I have done it and got conclusive results it is proven. One can easily disprove a theory (like I did) but it is extremely hard to prove it.
No matter what this light won't throw 300 yards, my STL-V2 couldn't do that. If you guys would like I will get out and take some at 100 yards tomorrow night. (Its 1 am here)
