I can have a light with 1050 lumens doing two million candlepower, and make it a two million and a half, just by putting in the same light, a bigger head, with a reflector that concentrate all those lumens in a tighter spot.

Borealis two million candlepower



Borealis two and a half million





The two (2') and two and a half (3") million heads



The Borealis with the 3" head




And a very small reflector can have the opposite effect, I just bought a small light with a Rebel 200 lumens module that can barely illuminate a target 26 yards distant, just because the small reflector spread the lumens all over the place in a big flood.

Cheers
