WOW!
JWS AD really BLOWS the Truck Lite AWAY! Not even close.
Me thinks your "control" should be at dead dark to eliminate the camera aperture and shutter speed?
The JWS AD DIP plus FOGS pix is really no help at such a close range, in fact it is so much light it washes everything out.
The other lights you have shown are basically redundant, IMHO.
You NEED to do this in a dark field at distances with a good incident meter.
Come visit me - bring your junk - I have a spare room and bed - we'll do it together!
Fixed 2S and F5.6 manual for all shots. Fixed focus. It was darker than the photos belie. I could barely see the lid (used to focus on and give scale) - The FOV was about what my eyes could properly "see" rather than just be "aware of".
The Fogs extend lateral spread - useful on twisty lanes where Wild Boar cavort. And maybe deer!. But yes it's generally overkill. Wish there was some way to show the adaptive extra beams. I need this as 100% traffic free is a real luxury so can seldom use main.
Bear in bind it's only 1 Truck-Lite and 2 JWS. I may have some early JWS Photos somewhere - the TruckLite is better. My TL is also adjusted up further than it should be - it was fitted to my Guzzi to reduce load and is a daylight running light really.
I am going to chat with a mate who builds lenses for Panavision - hi lives in the wilds (when not at the beach) and I'll guess has access to very good photometers. Whilst I'd love to come over with my junk - realistically this wont happen whilst my mum needs my support.
The other shots were just to point out how relatively weak most other cheap lights are. The 25° and 45° are quite old but very visible - they make excellent "Oi - I'm here" Day riding lights. All scatter and little focus. The slot will be OK as a "boar cavorting lanes scaring light" for the 1984 Land Rover. But pointless with JWS.
There is no way to express HOW GOOD the adaptive are compared to any other light - and that's without being able to show how stunning they are when the additional adaptive beams kick in. Unless a bike comes with adaptive technology - there are one or two - there is nothing out there that comes close in bends.
