The incandescent bulb in the Surefire M951 light was noticeably dimmer than the X300.
Whats to do?
LED upgrade!
Not cheap, but far cheaper than a completely new light.
Using the GPS Status app on my phone, I can measure for lux.
The X300 shows 21,000 lux at 6" and 1,319 lux at 8'.
The incandescent bulb gets 11,000 at 6" and 520 at 8'.
The LED upgrade does 33,000 lux at 6" and 1,374 at 8'.
That's a fair upgrade, I think! I think it might be hard to get a better light for the $100 total I've got into it.
The upgrade throws a slightly larger circle than the X300 without much of a hot-spot in the center. The X300 has a very hot spot.
