Not bad for money. But the spot lens is def a narrow spot
Color: 4.5inch Spot Light, Color: 4.5inch Spot Light
I did a direct comparison to BD squadron pro with spot lens.
Pic one is 1 squadron spot lens, pic two is 1 auxbeam 4.5
Not a pair. Only one light each.
Then the video is 2 squadron pro one with spot lenses the other with combo lens.
Then both auxbeam 4.5.
I wouldn’t buy the spot lens unless you have other lights or just trying to light a narrow beam a long ways. The fill light is not good.
I say the brackets and the finish is on par with BD, not as deep as the XL80 but similar in size.
The BD XL pro is def brighter with better fill even with spot lenses. I would say 4 of these would match the XL Pro at half the money if you have the space for four of them.
But even 4 don’t match the XL80’s. But for 160 bucks it’s a good solid light.
