the hot-shot beam is about half the "spread" of the PBSF.

here's a test... find a wall about 3-5 car-lengths away, where it's dark. turn on the hot-shot (or a PBSF) and you'll see a red dot painted on the wall. if someone's face is in that red dot, you're conspicuous - if someone's face is outside of that red dot, you're not conspicuous.
