That's the beam from around 7 feet. It is deeply, stupidly bright. I lined up with a friend with an Outbound, had him set max brightness, then flooded right over it. Night to day. My Ituo XP3 (2400 lumens) with three wide optics has a more oblong beam shape, but it turns out that's only relevant when your spill doesn't light up the sides. This does.
It's not perfect, the battery mount is crap (opted for a frame bag) and it'll drop the brightness after fifteen minutes if you try to run all five LEDs with ambient above 60F. The top three (~3500 lumens), it seems to maintain indefinitely. No stake here, I don't care what you buy. Spend all the money. But for me, I've bought two and stopped looking for anything else.
