In "light" of several recent threads about headlights for the impending winter, I thought I'd share a site I just discovered:
http://wetestlights.com
The First Comprehensive Testing Database For Portable Lighting Systems
As a US manufacturer of high-performance lights Light & Motion grew tired of the exaggerated claims from many of the other brands in the industry. In 2010 we began the slow process of building support for the FL-1 standard as the best method to ensure accurate lumen reporting. As a result, we decided to create wetestlights.com to exclusively handle all our test data and publish it publicly.
I'm not completely clear on the affiliation with Light & Motion, but the database for run-time is pretty comprehensive and interesting. The most interesting section is the comparison tool.
Of course, the mtbr lights shootout is another great resource, with more beam quality information: http://reviews.mtbr.com/category/lights-shootout
