This light more of a thrower or a flood?

This light is a flood light; there is no focusing bezel. It can, however, illuminate over 100 feet from the source. I always have one on me, and a second in reserve in my cabin.

It is very floody compared to the average tactical flashlight on the market. If you want more flood then the Zebralight H502 is the floodiest light I've bought and completely outclasses the Sc600 it in that sense due to the emitter being so close to the lens but then it has very little throw. The throw of the Sc600 Mark 2 is good and I haven't had an issue with it spotting things far away but the flood is why I got it. It is a good balance between flood and throw while being more on the floody side. I would say its a near perfect beam pattern for everyday tasks and needs and doesn't leave me feeling like it needs more flood or throw. Your mileage may vary.

I find that it's actually a pretty good balance between the two. I would lean more towards the flood if I had to choose one but, in part due to the intensity of the light, it gets decent throw as well.

It has more flood then other lights I have but it does have good throw. I like the levels of light, I have used the low levels more then I thought I would. I like to carry in my pocket for general use.

The SC600 is more of a flood light. Generally, you can get a better idea by looking at the reflector. If it's a smooth reflector, then it'll have a greater hot spot that is used for throw. If it has an orange peel reflector, then the light is dispersed more evenly for better spill and flood. However, it's the shape of of the lens and where the LED is positioned that will determine if it's actually a thrower or not. In the SC600's case, it has a shallow orange peel reflector so it's a better flood light with more spill.

With the OP reflector it's a smooth blend between both. I would say it leans just a little towards a flood.

It's a spotlight. If you need more of a flood light, this one is very directional. But it is very bright...

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

I don't know and mine isn't easy to get to. I think it is smaller than an outdoor flood light however. I like it but wish it were brighter.

This is a flood light. I have one for my back yard and it lights up the whole yard

Lights with a reflector/dish are intended to reflect backward-directed light forward--the bulb position and dish shape determining focal point of resulting light. These floods have no backward-directed light, so the reflector/dish serves no purpose (beyond simple mechanical/thermal protection). The light would have a diverging beam based On the internal characteristics of the bulb (which is a "wide angle" type). I don't know if any reason why this arrangement would not be just fine.

The light really does not have a beam because it's like a flood light. It does fill up a large area with plenty of light. The one I have mounted on my ATV lights up all the area my perifreil vision can see. Plenty of forward light that lights up 1/2 Aker of land

These lights give more of a really bright flood but they also have a beam affect to them. I purchased them to replace the lights on my '58 Ford 850 farm tractor, they are quite a bit brighter than I expected or need for my particular use but they'll work

It is a floodlight, NOT a spotlight. There is no focusing mechanism. In fact, I question whether the metal reflector in the light really does much of anything.

No, it is not. It does throw out a nice pattern of light, it lights up a portion of our deck that needed light to unload the car, etc.

A little of both but leaning toward flood..... super bright. what is your application?

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

This light has a very big round flood pattern for lighting an area near you like lighting the side of a house from 10-15 feet away. This mode is not super bright, but gives a very nice flooded area. The throw pattern is smaller and brighter with a slightly wider surrounding flood area. That mode may work best for spotting owls in a tall tree. I like this light as a good choice for all around use. If you need something super bright that throws a very long distance go with a Fenix PD32 Ultimate Edition.

It is a spot Flood combo, and works very well for the cost of the light. Iv'e had mine for since December and still works awesome.

Takes a regular incandescent flood light - don't think the energy efficient type will work as they have a wider base .

I am the buyer, not the seller. I worked in the lighting industry for 12 years though and I would say these are floods. Beam spread is pretty wide. Hope this helps

this light is more of a spot (pin point) light than a flood light (area). in terms of brightness I think u can using enough of these lights.
