With the recent additions to the XL Series we have had a lot of people calling and emailing us asking questions about the XL80 vs. XL Racer Edition for High Speed and Long Range applications.
The XL80 packs a punch with 9,500 Lumens and is designed for Zones 1-3. Our XL Racer Edition has a 4 degree Spot Beam and puts out 4,300 Lumens with ~40% more distance entering Zones 3-5.
As you can see, the XL80 does an amazing job lighting up Near Field and Midfield areas but lacks the Long Range distance that the Racer Edition has.
Both lights were designed with a purpose and will provide maximum usable light through a variety of different applications.
Hopefully these photos will help you determine the best lights for your application!
