I finally took some ceiling bounce and beam shots last night. Here are the results. These pics were taken with a point & shoot digital camera with auto white balance turned off and the ISO set to 100. I have no control over shutter speed so I can't tell you what it was set to for the pics.
This first picture is the control shot...
This first set of pictures are ceiling bounce shots to show the amount of light put out.
The first shot is my custom 3D Cell Maglite sporting an XM-L T6 driven at 3A by 12V (3x18650) set on High mode. This light will be used as the comparison light to give you a reference for the ones that follow.
Next is The Micro Mag on High so you can easily compare it to it's big brother. Ceiling bounce gives the best way to visually compare the amount of light put out by a torch and I think the Micro really holds it's own compared to it's big brother!
Next is the Micro Mag on Medium.
This one is the Micro Mag on Low.
Now I'll show you the beam shots so you can see how large the hotspot is and compare it to the reference light. They are not blue at all in person, they just came out that way on camera for some reason.
First is the reference light, my 3D Mag on High. You can see the intense hotspot given by the large reflector combined with a very smooth and even spill.
Now here is the Micro Mag's beam on High. Since the hotspot is so much larger and not as intense, it would appear to be no where near as bright but as the ceiling bounce showed, the amount of light as a total from the broad center and distinguished zones of flood is really impressive. Clearly not a thrower, it's specialty is flooding.
Here are the two beams (High mode) next to each other in the same shot for a direct comparison.
Here is one last view again of both bounce results on high in a mouse-over view for easy comparison (more for my own curiosity)
I hope this helps to give an idea of what an impressive little torch this is. Thanks for looking! :)
