Here’s my review of the ASTROLUX LEP - Hope you enjoy those beam shots! Also can the WP2 live with the K75 and W4?
Old M1X WP-RX performed much better. Wonder why they downgraded it… The price is barely lower than before. I’d rather pay a few dollars extra for a much better performing light.
Great review, I’m glad the WP2 performance is matching the manufacturers specifications and that UI is oh so SWEET ! Mine should be here sometime next week.
Sure the old M1X WP-RX had a higher initial candela rating but didn’t it tank to about half of that in the first minute ? so in a technical sense they went with a stable performance across the board. I would test mine once I get it but I doubt my numbers would be accurate my setup is amateur at best and haven’t measured any LEP besides the Unbranded one from neal.
Hopefully as more people get their hands on the WP2 we can get more measurements for a good sample size and just average it out.
Be interesting to see what other testers measure as they all said I measured the W4 and MF05 way too low.
Mine just arrived today I did initial measurements in doors on a lx1330b at 10 meters mine measured at 1.5m CD But it could be way off as I’m just an amateur in testing throw.
Might be right, my WP2 hit 1.34mcd but it does seem to be down on lumens, my WP1 has a hell of a lot more lumens.
Hopefully others whom picked up the WP2 can provide more numbers since we all use different setups / environments to measure we can get a better idea for where the performance is on average.
Your "wife" has a very soothing voice. :-D
Matt, you definitely need a tree of life in your upcoming reviews. And let's exchange those boring farm houses by a school, btw. :-P
Excellent machi... excuse me.... review, as always! :THUMBS-UP:
My computer wife!
I cannot read the description with your heading always covering it. 
Would watching the video on YouTube be a workaround?
Getting a lot of haters recently, now I know how Charles feels!
I thought everyone loved Charles. Anyway, you have more subscribers than he has (18,200 vs. 15,500). ;-)
Wish I had as many as Chiinature! Shining his lights in a well lit indoor car park!
Not hating, but your vids are a bit odd in places. Could probably do with some narration (not a computer voice), but obviously they are your vids and your choice.
It won’t happen, so I suggest try a different channel. Plenty about.

Your vids are terrific, and present good information, understandable by relative newbs such as myself. And despite what criticism I’ve read about your beam shots not being reflecive of “the real world”, they sure as heck exemplify much the world I’m out and about in after the sun sets. Your WP1 vid was very informative as well. Keep up the great work
Thank you!
