Bringing this thread back up because I just had a good chance to examine the TF A8's beam (although I need to do it again against other lights for a better comparison). I wasn't cycling (can't cycle around here for at least a month yet unless you stay on pavement) just comparing in my backyard. I really should get comparison beamshots. I have to agree with you whokilledJR, the bezel of the A8 does seem to interfere with the spill. I forgot to try removing the bezel though, so I can't comment on removing it. This is disappointing as I really wanted to love this light and wanted it to be perfect. So I'm thinking to try out the FastTech X-Power clone of the Shadow JM-07 and/or a modded Keygos M10 (I'm cheap, so it'll probably be the M10 even though I'll be close to the same cost of the X-Power by the time I finish).
