Ok ive been thinking maybe I would like a beam with a nice solid hot spot but no spill. Literally no spill at all just soild large hot spot! Is this type of beam available and if so im looking for a small form factor.

You need an aspheric lens light. I won't tell you which to get as I don't have many myself, but there are options and that's what you're looking for.
The glass lens will be curved, focusing all light into the hotspot.

It's true that aspheric has no spill. But typically, not a large hot spot, unless it's a zoom flashlight.

Another alternative is a narrow Carclo optic flashlight that has a large hot spot and very little spill. SL2 and P60 drop-ins are some examples.

10199 Carclo, which is a plain finish narrow 20mm optic, this will give you pretty much a large hotspot and not much else with the right holder and LED combination.

Triple or quad in optics should give you a huge hot spot and very little spill. Various size options......
