Sorting out the few items worth answering from within the rest of your irrelevant troll snottiness,
I'm quite familiar with the standard ways the German's make the SVTZO compliant beam shapes. Studied inside them closely when designing my STVZO optics.
Anyone know how many LEDs the B&M uses? Looks like more than one.
The beam in my video shows a much taller and wider beam than the German brands make.

That B&M needs to go 10 meters downrange to reach two car lanes wide, and at an obvious dimmer brightness than the center. My Oculus STVZO design needs less distance downrange to reach that width, and keeps a near even brightness all the way across at the bottom of the beam.
It would be a more honest picture for B&M to show the point downrange where they claim their rated 100 lux measurement is taken. Best guess is at the 10 meter STVZO measuring point. 100 lux at 10 yards is doable with a tight concentrator to make the B spot bright enough that nowhere below that horizontal would be brighter, and stay at 2 lux at the H line above. That much concentration takes a toll on the brightness that can be put at the bottom of the beam, where STVZO only requires 2 lux at relatively narrow points sideways from the vertical center. the low horizontal is how these other STVZO lights pass, because most of the brightness can be made in only a short distance top to bottom.
There are no follow vehicles at the World 24 Hour TT's. At RAAM, my people consistently were, or say they felt, faster on curvy and fast descending sections where the follow vehicle couldn't keep up. Follow vehicles mostly have a mix of wide shorter distance floods and/or long pencil beams.
Empiracally, the best at RAAM and other ultra-events ask for my beams over any other light they could use and sometimes their other sponsors want to give them.
Oculus also gives a high powered blast of a safer Daylight Visible beam that the RAAM racers enjoy too, instead of a little blinking dot that other lights have.
I would love little better than to have an honest apples to apples side by side comparison my STVZO design included in those beam shots. I'll give you 10% of any royalties for the first 50,000 units or two years of any licensing deal you can get me connected with.
But are you up for being constructive by helping to get my STVZO beam into those side by side, equal exposure pictures? Will you stay obsessed with your current behavior so far of showing no ability to look good on your own merit without without trying to find excuses to put others down for taking risks and accomplishing dreams in life that you're own words indicate you're too much of a coward to dare try?

oops forgot to answer questions. The ray trace is from design
software called Zemax. Every other ray trace has some red center.
This beam is so even that it has early no red anywhere.
The Nasa Lunar Resource Prospector development unit has a few
Oculus mounted on it in a layout that resulted from trial and
error til we made a light field with virtually no variation in
the region the robot "sees". The light field dimensions aren't
public info so can't say, but you can probably make a rough guess
from the picture. The new Roverscape indoor area with synthetic
lunar "soil" and "moonrocks" is mores secure than they can get me
a clearance for. Latest update is they're moving ahead with
their algorithms based on how my lights light up the region for
the vehicle's cameras. Maybe once this baby sends back the first
pics of the Dark Side (small south polar region) of the moon, an
aerospace giant will buy up my patent and I'll finally get to
cash in instead of scraping away with a flashlight and bike light
industry that doesn't like new guys or technology that would make
them change their tooling and infrastructure.
You could try to reply to the message where I asked these
questions.
If I could find your original mixed in a few days of digest, else,
here's your reply, stop being an asshole about it.
Learn to use a newsreader software, spammer -- and take your meds!
A ray trace projected on to a surface perpendicular to the light
source is not representative of how the light will be used in the
real world. Hence, your picture is of no practical use.
All beams are designed to ray traces. You also have that picture
from the NASA grounds showing the beam on ground. "Hence" go ****
yourself and you bull**** character attacks. Stay the **** on topic
here of get the **** off this forum.
That's very cute, Barry Shortfuse. AFAIR, and still expressed in the
subject line, the topic of this rbt thread was Bumm's two-year old IQ-X lamp
which Barry is not nearly as familiar with as one could expect from a
normally functioning small competitor.
I thought I was fairly clear, but obviously still misunderstood. I'm
sure B&M use ray tracing light simulation software too, however their
beams are shown with the light mounted at the fork crown and projected
on to a surface that is representative of the light on a road. See here;

Investing just the cost of two Fedex parcels if he's too paranoid for USPS,
Barry could, for years, have gotten these kinds of graphics and their "wall"
measured versions for his actual product. Though Jeff's simplified method
of expensive "road brightness" measurements from the rider's eye position
still seems advantageous for user purposes, given a camera providing
sufficiently realistic data.
They also have real world beam shots, but of course no competitor's
lights for comparison. Note that the headlight I have illuminates the
wall in their photo out to 45m ahead.
Butbutbut the Real Athlete's question is: Can it overpower the horribly
distracting shadows under your tired eyes that your bike is producing in the
powerful beams from your RAAM support vehicle closely following?

Except for the grassy, uneven ground that does hide beam defects that can
more easily be spotted on tarmac, this is an okay six-in-one comparison of
battery Bumms with Philips and Supernovae:

Now you resort to colourful language, insults and such. Well, you
certainly know how to self destruct!
Alternatively, he could just "pull" his latest, what, fifty? usenet and
forum posts. How much TNT do you need for the job, Barry?
