Thanks brad. Time to throw away more money.
Yay!
Your welcome.
I like the beam from the Crelant 7G5V2 with collimator head so much more than I did with my Dereelight.
And Rick showed me that either Dereelight that he had would shine easily brighter on top of the Crelant 7G5V2 collimator head beam. Just so you know. But the Crelant beam is quite a bit bigger and more useful of a beam. The Dereelight was too pencil of a beam for me. And now Rick has it.
Here make the call for yourself. Maybe the purplish tint is making a deception to the real outcome. Mouseover 7G5V2 collimator head mouseout TN31

I can definitely see what you’re talking about
have you metered those two lights?
I have no light meter. Let me show you 2 shots at 110yds. It’s pretty close.

But like I said up close on a wall I have no doubt that the Crelant 7G5V2 with collimator head will easily beat the TN31.
i don’t know about close - looks like the tn31 stomps the 7g5v2
I’m planning to overdrive mine. I have a meter but suck at beamshots. maybe when I’m done with it you’ll take some photos for me

210Yds
And just for grins here’s the YEZL 38/50watt hid at 210yds same camera settings.
And here it is at 110yds. Like I said I may need to do some more focusing to be fair. But it’s pretty close to being where it needs to be.
445yds
And to be fair to the YEZL, I may have not had the beam focused to the brightest hotspot in the picture above. But I will take another one tonite and post it here so we can see. I can tell you at 445yds I honestly believe the YEZL HID will beat the TN31.
PM sent, Santa!! A very much surprise gift and one that will be returned with a little handcrafted goodness one day in the near future. Not by Christmas, I’m afraid as I am already behind on stuff but soon, my very generous friend!
You da man!
Like I told you I just felt like doing something nice for someone today.
I’ll bet your glad you responded to this post now. LOL!
Your light should be on its way to you tomorrow.
Merry Christmas!
Santa
I got a crelant 7g6cs that should be on its way from the cpfmp crelant giveaway. Now you got me tempted to get the latest 7g5cs from mdlightsource. Those collameter head shots make it a versatile tool for work 
not that I need it but dang it’s cool looking
Remember when I said this and nobody believed me!! I told you it was brighter on the wall…
If I can get it to show up, I’ll post the Crelant 7G5V2 collimator head on top of my brightest TN31 beam that I just got yesterday from Ma_Sha1 on here that measured 115,00 lux on his light meter. I’ll show you what I mean about how you can’t even see the TN31 beam.

The coupon code didn’t work, but I put my BLF and CPF handle in the notes. Looks like I may get free shipping which is plenty discount for me. I’ll pm him and see if everything’s ok
Now I had to slow the shutter speed way down to capture this for you guys, but you should get the picture. I’ll have to post the camera specs in a bit after I check to see what they actually were.
Here’s the camera info like promised.
Manual exposure, 1/776 sec, f/3.2, ISO 400
Crelant 7G5V2 collimator head on left and ThruNite TN31 on fight
Now here’s the ThruNite TN31 and the Crelant 7G5V2 collimator head beam on top of it.
Awesome pic ILF, thanks for helping me decide on my next purchase 
LoL
Your welcome.
If I slow the shutter speed down even more, it would be even more pronunced if I can use that word in what I see in person.
But I can go to 1200, 1600, or 2000 shutter, but you should get the picture with that one above.
