Hence so much spread/scatter in their spot optic. Baja uses open face legacy reflectors which are dated in the LED market, and poor performing. LOL, you cannot even tell the Baja Design lights are on when the high intensity Diode Dynamics lights are on. The lights that do so are the KC Gravity series, like the Pro6 and their numbers put both pods to shame while using half the input power, although in the case of the Pro6 the lights are significantly larger. Focus and intensity will be even better than TIR optic, producing significantly higher intensity numbers with far lower input. The only other way to achieve controlling 100% of the light is to reverse aim your LED into a reflector for superior focus (larger reflectors perform far better than smaller ones). TIR optics control all the light to point it where it is designed to go vs significant scatter losses. To do that you must control 100% of the light, not just some of it, as an open face reflector does. Superior distance projection is all about superior light control and focus. If you were to put a lux meter out at those trees in the distance, Diode Dynamics would register drastically higher in intensity, hence why you could not tell the Baja lights were on when both sets were on simultaneously.ĭiode Dynamics uses Total Internal Reflector (TIR) optics, Baja uses dated open face legacy reflectors that have poor pattern control and intensity. While one might prefer the additional spread, it demonstrates a lack of control in the optic, and what that means is a lack of focus which translates to lower distance projection, which is the point of a spot optic. Pretty clear in the video that their optic isn't limited to the 9 degrees that Baja claims, and throws light everywhere, which is not much of a true spot light, typical of the open face reflector design.
