That beamshot in the ebay photo looks to be of an aspheric in throw mode. The square emitter hotspot gives it away.
Yours would still be a good thrower as I briefly had a C8 with an XR-E Q5 in it and it dies throw a fine beam. Upgrade that with an R2 driven at 1.4A and you would have an awesome thrower!
wow 400 yards that's a long distance! The brightest light i own now is the KD C8 which throws 100 usable yards at most i think. But then it also has a very decent flow and a wide hotspot.
You are right about the spill, I hadn’t thought about that but the right & bottom edges of the hotspot appear to be on a flat wall while the top & left edges are definitely on the building edges.
And here's the same exact beam shot picture as above but with the Skyline I. Camera settings are proibably different though and this one is more focused. But you can get the idea that both are throwers.
Real there 230-240 lumens. Regrettably,disease of exaggeration cureless beside chinese seller.))Do Not think that manufacturer can indicate such improbable data
