First here are a couple of good write ups how to post images here………
I also would like to have seen a little more done with the head and bezel of the V6 in the design to make it more pleasing to the eye.
I totally agree with the lights having different beams and being used for different purposes. I even mentioned in my review video that you would see more difference in the beams further out.
As far as throw though at 400 yards the Cat V6 is showing me a lot more than the L16 does.
Again there is a lot of difference there with the beams as the L16 is much wider from the smaller reflector where the V6 beam has more of a hotspot.
I also understand if you are comparing a CW with a NW there will be more difference … also my eyes may not see light the same as your eyes or the next guy so one light may appear brighter to me than someone else , but here are a few beamshots I just took tonight with my lights , so the L16 and V6 were on level field……….
There was a good bit of mist in the air tonight , so not optimal conditions for beamshots really , but here is what I got anyway.
Also both the L16 and the V6 I have are the Cool White.
L16—175 yards Turbo
V6 — 175 yards Turbo
Approximately 90 yards /// L16 left — V6 right
90 yards with V6 left and L16 right
