If you always use your Maglite Mini LED flashlight in the tightest spot mode, then you probably will NOT like this Victorinox LED flashlight - its beam is much wider without a well-defined bright spot.I'll upload a beam shot (to the Customer Images section) when I got a chance.[Update a few hours later]I just uploaded the comparison beam shots. The difference is even more dramatic than I expected.

My review for the Victorinox flashlight is up. Plese read it to see how the Victorinox stacks up against the Maglite mini LED flashlight.

A sarcastic remark on my part is that you don't, or can't turn this flashlight on. As I recall it works complete opposite from Maglite products, but mine (actually two of them) were defective and although I finally got one that worked on the third try, I never used it after that as it wasn't anywhere near as bright as my previous Maglites. I have since purchased a couple more Maglites and am very happy with them. I'm very sorry that I deviated to this Victorinox product.

Previous responder has it right. The pinspot came with a 6º lens (installed) and 9º lens (a spare). I have it about 10' from it's target, and the 'spot' is probably about 9-10" diameter -- twenty feet would be about a 20 inch spot with the installed lens. The 9º would give you a wider spot. The further away, the wider the spot and the less intensity. The only way to adjust the beam is by replacing the lens. There is no other adjustment. BB

it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a really nice unit, and for the price, it's an awesome deal...hope that helped to answer your question it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a... » Read More it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a really nice unit, and for the price, it's an awesome deal...hope that helped to answer your question « Show Less

I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing. The mount will place your magnifier 7mm below the centerline of your sight.(i.e. Eotech, etc). It is for the lower 2/3 of the view. There is another swing mount manufactured that has the same part number. The name of the manufacturer has slipped my mind as of right now, but it can be purchased from Primary Arms. Go to their web sight and read your descriptions. They also have the spring loaded push button and the magnifier flips to the side. That is what I bought instead. It is tighter and more stable as far as holding the magnifier. The Vortex has too much play and wobble for my taste. I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing.

Look up "wide angled lens for majicshine" Action led lights has both clear and red wide angle lens. Neat trick: use two back to back with the ribs at right angles and the beam goes larger in both directions. I run mine in daytime as a be seen light and at night I prefer the larger area of coverage. Be Safe.

I'm glad you asked this question because I wasn't aware of this function and had to read my manual, which you can download here: http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/dslr.cfm#eflash Answer is, yes, the led light will turn on to assist focus in low light BUT as far as I can tell, although there is an automatic setting as an option, it won't go on automatically. IF you set it to M, or manual, you can press the right side of the settings ring and it will stay on. It is EXTREMELY fiddly rotating through the settings with that small wheel and then having to press each of the four positions to change settings.

There is no beam focus adjustment. I don't recall this feature being mentioned anywhere in the product description.Best of luck.

Not sure about the Dr. Mom light but we use these in a machine shop to look at small features on parts. Not noticed a problem with the focus and the LED light is very bright. Overall very happy with it.

Manual Focus only. Works better close for Macro shots. Not so much for far away, Infinity setting. Good Luck!

The front on the T7 adjusts the beam pattern from a nice wide even light to a focused beam. The P7 does not do this, just a medium beam. Otherwise they look identical, I have both. Buy from a trust USA resource. Mine was bought at Amazon and the seller did not identify themselves as being in China and it took about 6 week to get the flashlight.

I turned my light on and adjusted it to see. I am not an expert but can only tell you what I do see when I adjust the lighted magnifying glass to different distances and it appears to magnify the specific items one focuses on to three times larger. Bear in mind I already wear glasses so this is what I see wearing my glasses and I do realize that it is different under different circumstances and different distances. What is important to me is that I can adjust the distant to what is helpful and applicable to my sight. At the same time I can only assume it will be the same for others

I guess it depends on what you mean by "adjustable beam". The beam has two brightness levels but the focus cannot be adjusted (i.e., it does not adjust from spot to flood). The strobe feature has to be intentionally selected, otherwise it's just a high or low brightness. Instructions are included for permanently deactivating the strobe feature so that you don't accidentally turn it on. You can reactivate the strobe feature if you ever decide you want to use it.

the Aim sport 90 beam is wide and not zoomable and with shipping is to expensive, my came out to be $24.43. I recommend for the price and zoomabitlity the mini 400 lumens cree Q5 led zoomable adjustable focus flashlight torch with waterproof design for only $4.35. It is a square focused beam that will do the job. there are more expensive ones that are better with higher lumens but most of them lie they are usually about half what they claim to be.:(

Hi Bart: Yes, these binoculars will defocus when you zoom in, especially going to full zoom. It is part of the design. Some binoculars are advertised as constant focus regardless of the X power you are using, however, I am not aware any of these get high ratings for image quality. These Nikons will give you very good image quality but to get that requires an optical design that doesn't include constant focus. I bought these because I wanted the zoom feature and good image quality. In order to get anything significantly better would mean spending $2000 or more.-Mark, PC35 PhotoLab Hi Bart: Yes, these binoculars will defocus when you zoom in, especially going to full zoom.

Also, I own the eagletac sx25a6. It is worth a look. It takes 6 AA instead of 8, it is slimmer, and brighter. Can't go wrong with either light, though. I own both and they are both excellent.

Think the 400 lumens is referring to a M17. The M7 I purchased stated it has 220 lumens. I don't have a meter to measure the output but I do own the M7 and a P17. There could of been a change in the output since the time I purchased my unit but I really haven't been checking. I purchased the M7 for a number of reasons (It is small, it has a metal switch button, it is rechargeable, it can be focused and it has adequate lumens for my needs.) I previously purchased two P7s and found the switch button to be problematic. Both switches failed within 6 months. I've used the M7 every night at work and haven't had a problem with the switch. I carry it using the belt clip. Very happy with this purchase. The P17 has been another good purchase I purchased it 3 years ago and it still going strong. Use it mainly for luminating wider areas. Since its LED the battery power consumption is a lot better than the krypton and xenon flashlights. Before I purchased the P17 I was going to the store to get a pile of D batteries every week. Now it's more like 5 time a year. The picture dies show a M17 and it looks different from my older P17.
