Does this model produce a beam like an expilion 350 for example? Also, how many feet far can it shine before it fades?

It produces a relatively narrow beam, but it is extremely bright at 800 lumens. I light the front 30+ feet of my path with confidence, and the light can be seen for well over a mile in the dark. Make sure you point this more at the ground that straight forward so you don't blind other drivers/bicyclists.

"Fades" is ambiguous, but it can tell you that I see my headlight reflect off of stop signs 100 yards away. It doesn't illuminate the street enough to see anything that far away, but other drivers can see it at least twice that far (since I'm seeing the reflection after returning from the sign.)

yes. not sure about feet, but it project very far. The only issues is the weight and battery life. It seems it needs a charge every other day.

It's more than two times as bright as 350. It same the same beam pattern. Also has boost mode which my 350 didny have.

hi, i have both tn31 and tn35...BOTH great thrower flashlights for beam distance. I have used both on a 1/2 mile straight stretch of highway here in fairbanks and BOTH lit up road for easily half that distance and reflected the signs 1/2 mile away. the tn31 was 89.00 and 1700 lumens. The tn35 was 135.00 and 2700 lumens..both were great light with tn35 being a little brighter is all and better spread:) but for 89.00 the tn31 is no slouch:) As far as dropping them...I do not do that sorry. They have a 2 year warrenty now and even after that will fix it at parts/labor. the people that shoot them or throw them all over is just plain stupid for such a nice light. You can break anything if you try but WHY??? I dont do that stuff,sorry. hope this helped

This beam does not focus. It does light up the entire field or mountain in front of you. If you want focus get another. This is so powerful though you don't need focus unless you have a special need for that. All my friends covet my Tiny Monster. Its like having like having a high end sports car but it's just a flashlight.

Here's what the paper that came with the light says. Highest beam is 2hrs and 20 minutes . Medieum is 3hrs and 15 min. Low beam is 9hrs plus they have about 4other beams but I gave you the basic ones. I only use the high beam and I would agree to theese stats but to me it seems longer. If you really want the exact time on a special beam let me know and I'll charge it up and leave it on untill it gets dim and time it exactly. BOB

Realistically it's usable out to about 450~550 feet or about 150M. if you need something to shine out usable light at that kind of distance you need to look into a purpose made spot light.

Not even the manufacturer knows the exact lumens. How long it runs depends on what brand of batteries you use and how good the charger is. You question is impossible to answer, and an answer would tell you nothing anyway. A flashlight with and exact same output could give far different results, depending on for instance how broad the throw is. I can see clearly objects 150 feet away with perhaps a 40 foot beam.

I haven't noticed anything different in the beam other than the upgrade being a good deal brighter. I own both the xt11 and the upgraded version and think they are great lights. I am happy with the upgrade and feel it was worth it.

The beam angle is definitely more flood light than spot light. Don't know the exact angle, but would estimate 45 degrees

It has a powerful, focused beam that should be exactly what you're looking for. It also has wide angle light at the same time. It's one truly awesome light!

no focused beam...what light there is dims very rapidly...I guarantee that no body spotted a boat a half mile away with this light...I gave this light to my grandchildren to play with...if it was free it would be a bad deal...by the way it stopped working already and it hasn't even been a month.

It casts about a good 50 to 60 yards. It floods and spot. But the spot is not a concentrated beam. For the price they are bright. Good kelvin color!

I've never paced it out. I'm not sure how I could answer this precisely in terms or yards or meters in a way that would be accurate or meaningful, as beam distance will be subjective depending on mounting height and angle. On my 29er I get about three car lengths of illumination...at least bright enough to illuminate any obstacle that might pose a hazard. I've not ridden fast enough to "out-drive" the light, though I suppose that could be possible on a road bike.Hope this helps.

I can't give you the exact specifications but I do know that the beam it projects seems fairly narrow. You'll have to back up a ways to get it up to 10' x 10'. That might effect how bright the image is, so you might be well advised to allow for darkening the room a little bit. The image that I usually project is about 5'x5' from about 5 or 6 yards away. That's because the presentations I make are usually with groups of only 20-30 people.

The beam is actually very bright. And it did a great job during the first dive (untill it leaked after 30 minutes of dive). Now I just use it as an ordinary flashlight in my non-dive trips.

It shines pretty far, but usable distance is around 30 yards. Very bright for the money.

Its more of a area of light affect instead of just a beam of concentrated light. I can see about 30 - 40 feet when in darkness with this light. I am still very happy with this light. Still on the same set of batteries with it as well.

I don't know what the guy who said 100m is talking about. It shines out to 300m easily, and this is a wall of light we're talking about. This light is a mix of flood light, with a bit of spot in the center. It puts out a huge amount of light (5000lm), so if you are looking for a super powerful flood/spot with reach, this is the ticket. Something like the SR-90 will reach farther in spot, but with no real flood. This light reaches similar distances, but will have everything around lit up as well. If you're just looking for a spotlight, look elsewhere.
