Curs your question is a good one.
The best analogy I can think of is to compare the LED lights to a shotgun.
We know not all shotguns shoot the same. Just set up a target, try different chokes, different size shot and different powder weight and you get different results.
The lights are the same. The powder weight can be thought of as the current driving the light.
The shot size can be compared to the number and design of the LED's
The Choke can be compared to the Reflector size and shape.
Take bird shot and depending on the choke of the gun you get more or less shot in a given area at a given range. Get shot at 200 yards with bird shot and it just stings. Shine some of these lights two hundred yards and there is light but it just scatters and you can't make out what your looking at.
So just like the number of shot in a shell doesn't determine the final outcome without taking into consideration the choke, barrel length and powder charge. The number of LED's doesn't completely determine the final beam of the light. It is how those LED's are designed and housed in the reflector (cone length and angle) and the current they are driven with.
great way of explaining it ! Im sure this is a great little light !
