but in terms of brightness, not near as bright as those aforementioned......

+1...but we have to accept it for now.

I was a bit surprised a bit on how barely noticeable the Mtec are during the day when I installed it. I guess those photos were taken at different angle, directly at the ring hence the brightness. Also, the original bulb was 10 watts, I believe, but the Mtec was only 3 watts, wonder if it would make any difference if there will be a newer version of the Mtec with higher wattage bulb.\

It's not because of the angling. It's because the way the cameras capture light. Without getting too much into it, basically the cameras "sees" more light than our eyes, and having it focused on it, that's exactly what it captures. That's why it's so hard to take good pictures of HID AE's and Orions. They just look like a glob of light.

Most forum members are running MTEC v2 at the moment, not v2.1

I thought the only difference between v2 and v2.1 was the radio interference issue
