Recieved the hs802 red today. Also got a charger and 4 of the sony 3000 batteries. Charged the batteries to full and installed in the 802 and the xlr100.
Just playing with them in the house the xlr 100 is substantially brighter. The 100 throws a larger circle, so maybe outside it will fade out at a closer distance. However, if you take the 802 and hold it about 3 feet from the wall and move the 100 in to about 18" , so both lights have the same size circle on the wall, the xlr 100 is way brighter. The xlr hurts my eyes to look at it on the wall but not so with the 802. For 30 bucks I can't complain. SHOuld serve me nicely as night hunting is only something I will do a couple times a year.
I'll check it out tonight shinning it up the street. Should be night hunting next week to give it the real test. Probably won't see any predators cuz i'm not that good but I'll certainly see how far I can ID a cow!
