Re: Aiming lamps

Alastair,
That is normally true for a non-focused light source. In the case of some flashlights, the reflector and or lens make a near columnar beam that does not follow the inverse square law. The first light I inspected using one of the defense flashlights had beam spot at about one hundred feet that was only 1' wide. I could see faces in the balcony when it turned on.
