Some beamshots as promised 
Please note, these have been taken with an iPhone 6 Plus, not an SLR. So these aren’t the last word in showing output differences. But they do show beam profile and throw differences very well.
So despite the relatively low amp draw of the D80, it seems to out perform the direct drive de-domed X6 on every level. Not sure how but it does. And it significantly out throws it too, despite the small size difference in reflectors. Maybe my de-domed X6 is feeling a little old now… although it hasn’t been extensively used. And it does still out performs my stock X6 SE, which is easily trounced by the D80.
The only oddity, although not a negative. Is how well the SST-90 powered MMU performs. It’s not as throwy, but seems to easily pump out as many or more lumens. It easily matches my BLF A6 and with similar beam profiles. So either FourSevens lumens are vastly different, being that they rate the MMU at 800 lumens ANSI. Or it actually makes a shed load more light than claimed.
Oh and one last word on the PWM…. such a shame, given how well the light performs. But I really think I’m going to have to swap the driver to make it a usable light.
cough cough…
D80 on the right.
