Newbie,
I first noticed that "shaft" in a beam shot of my Ti proto A19XR with GD700:

I think you guys are also going to see some illusions on white walls with thes XR-E's. Ihave mentioned it elsewhere but I think a particular ring of what looks like dark is an illusion and not an area of less intensity. I think these LED's have enough flux to overwhelm the eye even in reflected beam return at close distances.

XR-Es aren't the only ones that can do that. (smirk) It's nice to read that someone else has noticed the affect as well. I don't think it's an illusion, though.

Jar, hey that's a great idea, that's really good at comparing them, it's like fliping lenses for an eye exam back and forth. "this, or this".. lol

NewBie,

How do you actually create this type of animated image? I want to learn :D

Well we strayed a bit off the beaten path here. I just completed a real KL6 mod with the Cree, I'm not just holding the LED behind the reflector like I was here. For the results click here:

CM, your PM inbox is full. Answer is YES. Could you clear out some space so I can send you the full response?
