If you look at this image at full resolution, you can see that the 501B's hotspot is directed somewhere in close range, not like the SkyRays. I guess because the hotspot is larger it also reaches the house very slightly.
If I understood google translate correctly it should be about 150 meters away (to me looks like little more than that) and the hill where picture was taken is 20 meters higher than house.
Probably it was taken with a short focal length lens, so that's making objects in a distance appear farther than they are. Probably...
I did a Pythagorean calculation on that, it should be 151 meters from that point on the hill to the house, so 20 meters elevation doesn't change the distance that much in this case. All numbers are theoretic.
OK guys, can you say which flashlight is now the best budget thrower? STL V2/6 or more pricy Crelant? Or maybe something else? If crelant, is it worth additional 30$(70% price morethan STL V2)?
I don't have the Crelant, but I can vouch for the STL-V2 . Of all the flashlights I've owned (can't remember exactly) this one puts a smile on my face; simply because of the question of price vs. performance.
I know there are better thowers out there... but for how much more $? Maybe if I'm feeling rich (??) in the future I'll get me an Olight M3X, but that's a really big IF.
