Hey, what were the final results of this? I see that the Academy Info page on the wiki has a link to You are not allowed to view links.
Register or Login, and it mentions "Measurements were in Lumens" at the top of the page, but there aren't any measurements specified for each light.
I have a real issue with the "lumens" measurements for a variety of reasons:
* Some floods had narrow beams (causing high output levels to be concentrated) and some floods were very wide (with light distributed over a large area)
* There were just about zero controls on the "testing" that was performed.
* There are MANY factors for each flood to use it to compare one to another. There are places you'll need lots of lower output floods (wide/shallow areas, don't want shadows, non-flat surfaces) and places where you want high output floods.
I would look at the features on each flood (power method, mounting methods, beam angle, color reproduction, built-in features, protocol support, etc) along with cost and let those factors make the determination.
Thanks,
David
