Well it’s more than twice the brightness of the VG-10. I use to have a VG-10 but don’t anymore. I think it had a SMO reflector. The SP33 has a OP reflector. I only used the SP33 a few times before diffuser film went on the lens. From what I can remember it was floodier than the VG-10. It certainly is floodier now. The hotspot is larger and still has lots of usable spill. Easy to use the SP33 is, not tons of button presses and sequences, just 5 modes. One moon mode, low, mid, high and turbo. Certainly CW in tint but a very nice light to use around outside the house. A good buy in my opinion.
