Short summary:

Just taken from the Performance section:

I used Maxtoch 21700 batteries with a 5,000mAh capacity.

Mode Specs @ start @ 30 sec @ 10 min
Low 200 260 257 241
Medium 600 624 601 559
High 1200 lumens 1033 966 lumens 875

And candela measurements:

Specs Cd measured Meters Yards Miles
1170000 2163 2366 1.34
2619000 3237 3540 2.01
4 Mcd / 4,000m 3996000 cd* 3998 meters* 4372 2.48

Note: A little more information on measurements. It’s important to note that 30meters is about the max for my laser distance measure that I trust (it can go up to 35meters).

So for the sake of some extra testing, I measured both LEP heads at 30 meters, 1 by 1, on the lowest setting (most stable). The first LEP measured 657,000cd, and the second 639,000 cd. But at the same distance, I measured the combined output of: 1,170,900 cd. That means that both beams didn’t fully center into 1 focused beam yet at 30 meters. Both hotspots were probably still a little off from each other.

I then tested at an unknown distance (since my laser distance measure gave an error), which was about 40+ meters, and the measurement for both LEPs was closer to the heads measured independently. Maxtoch also just added this to their website, saying, that the beams will combine into 1 beam at about 60 meters.

*So the 3,996,000 cd in High mode isn’t the maximum it can do. It is able to throw even farther, but I can’t verify it reliably because of my laser distance measure. I’ll have to get another one to be able to measure these kinds of lights, at probably 50+ meters. All I can say is that the Maxtoch Owleyes W PRO can throw at least 4,000 meters!
