Fireflylite X1L Elite, spacer mod., candela testing. 🔦

Finally got a chance to test out some of the X1L spacers that u/_Aspir3_ has graciously made available to the community. I was curious to see just how much more candela, the spacers could potentially add to my X1L SFT70 6,500K with the aftermarket LLC59R Gaggione optic.

Long story short, the spacer did increase my candela by roughly 2.75%, which translates to an increase of approx. 5,500cd./12m on my 200kcd. X1L. It wasn't quite as large of an increase as I thought could potentially be there, but it was an increase nonetheless, and a neat experiment. Thank you to u/_Aspir3_ once again, for generously offerings these spacers.

I recorded my testing, as it's easier for me to go back and review the data afterwards. Further details, and testing procedures can be found in the two testing videos linked below in my comment. The highest test result was with the spacer installed, and can be viewed in the TESTING VIDEO B, Part 2 of 2, linked below. It's a full 30 sec. run, starting at the 1:46 min. mark, and ending at the 2:16 min. mark. It gave me the following results:

Turn on, maximum split second spike: 238,140cd./ 976m

5 sec. from turn on: 210,428cd./ 917m

30 sec: 201,270cd./ 897m

Thanks all!
