lol, the last week or 2 I have been getting many strange looks when I bring the equicilent of a bazooka to a knife fight.
Aka, I grab Giggles to look in a closet.
P.S. If you do this, make sure the brightness is turned way down or you will see spots for some time just form looking at the reflection of the hotspot on the wall.
Thanks, it turned out really nice. It is always nail biting after lining everything up, focusing the laser, test printing on some paper and then hitting the print button. You only get 1 shot at it.
Made a few mistakes in my time but I have started to get it figured out now. The key is the prep like most cosmetic things.
The camera was having a real hard time deciding what to make of everything. Some were more noticable then real life, others less so. The last comparison shot is pretty close to what we could see by eye.
The light just to the right of Giggles in that shot is a small zoomie that is a fair amount better then those cheap lights you are thinking of. If it was alone and the camera settings were tweaked you could make it look like those fake beamshots. Although in most cases they simply photoshop them.
Humidity plays a massive role in throwers range and how it works. It drastically reduces the usable range due to all the scattered light not making it to the target. On top of that the scattered light also tends to blind you making it harder to see downrange. I was having to squint a bit even behind the light itself.
It does very much feel like a giant light saber or one of those giant sky lights they use for grand openings.
Thanks for the review TA, and all the pics…. seeing it alone it looks pretty normal, but seeing it next to an L6 it’s just ridiculous!
Wonder if we could find one of the NBA guys and have him show the GT with those extra large hands… then sit it down next to a beer or something of known proportion. That’d be a neat mind trick.
Well done light, looks they’re pulling it off to a “T”!
