If you look at the middle of the parking lot you'll see a black line going across left to right. It slopes up about 50 yards and then begins to slope back down. Note that in this shot the ground is not even. I went out and found the darkest garage I could find to get dry photos of the beam pattern, cutoff, spread, and any scatter. White Balance 3800K for wall shot, and 3800K for distance shot.Well, dry photos happened when I located a nice, empty parking garage.ĩPM, 38F, Parking Garage with scattered overhead lights Will color shift to approximately 4700K.Definitely brighter than Halogen, and slightly brighter than LED.Must warm up to reach peak light output.Operating temperate at the arc was 300-400 degrees F.More stuff to install means more places you need to mount your hardware.Instant on with peak light output (really cool, and really nice).Operate at about 100 degrees F +/- 20 degrees at the base AND diode regions.The fewer parts to this upgrade make it nice. Super easy to tuck away and cleanly install.

This is a work in progress in terms of getting comparison shots.
