Comparing the 3D beam shapes (and not a side projection on a wall) of the 1 LED + SMO Nitecore MT21C vs the 3 LED + TIR optics of Wurkkos TS10s (4000 K and 3000 K). Using soapy water in a white tub. @flashlight #flashlight

Water's index of refraction is around 1.3, so the beam will look different in water than in air. Maybe take an air pic on a foggy night?

@solrize I will, if I get to work with fog machines. Could be sooner than a good foggy night.

This should be the new standard beamshot for diving lights though!
