That's my poor photography, not the light. While it is indeed focused more on spot than flood, there's still plenty of flood, especially for night riding. Notice my Beamer 5 barely lights anything up at all, in reality it's not that poor of a light. I'm that poor of a cameraman. Very dim it certainly is not - read around for the reviews on it on the CF forums, r.b.t, etc. The general concensus is that it's very, very bright. It's brighter than my 4D Mag light.

I don't have any such shots, but I could take some. I can accomodate - how far would you like these shots to be?

Without a tripod I'm afraid my night shots are going to remain poor. Perhaps I can set the camera on a saw horse. I'm also using the camera's generic "night" mode, as I have no idea how to mess about with F stops.
