I’ll probably pick up a “Big Larry”. . . .
I don’t have anything fancy, but my testing on a cheapo similar with SMDs (different brand) simply consisted in putting it in a fixed location relative to a simple intensity meter . . . but those other ones dropped so quickly that it was OBVIOUS visually and between adjustment of the eye (I was trying the unit in a dark room as the actual light source) and the very poor performance of the eye as a quantitative gauge in the first place, that’s saying quite a bit.
I agree that this NEBO is big . . . but it’s nice to see some better stuff in the “consumer” stores and some lights like this that use 3xAA rather than 3xAAA
If/when I do get one, I’ll run a meter test and report. I don’t/didn’t expect dead-flat regulation or boost circuitry, but an immediate and rapid downhill tumble is a different story in a $4 light vs a$25 light . . . especially when the latter has enough output to serve as a legitimate work light.
ONE NOTE: I’m not sure if the discreet LEDs in the “Larry 2” (or other various) models have any directionality to them, but the “Big Larry” with the COB is, as Dave_C pointed out, a definitely full-flood pattern . . . so that’s something to keep in mind too, depending on what folks may have in my for utilization.
