Great information! The 7A was much better last night just before moonrise and well after the blue hour. The closest light I have is a 4000K SST-20, which looks very white next to the 3000K. But 4000K looks warm next to the FW3A 3D, as you know. So the 7A will be the campfire light (along with the BLF LT1 lantern that is coming out soon). Thanks for helping.
I received the two SST-20 with Carclo optics I ordered 6 weeks ago. Boy, is this thing small and light!
The next day I promptly dropped one on the floor (hardwood, with some plastic around, no metal), and that gouged a chip about 1mm square. The anodization doesn't seem very robust or hard. I guess I now have a beater I don't need to worry about babying...
That doesn’t look the color of exposed aluminum. Maybe the wood finish transferred to the rough texture of the anodized aluminum? Does a scrubbing sponge diminish it?
Here’s what was on the floor (it fell from one of the perspex side tables).
It could have struck the steel bezel on the Q8. The lamp base is white plastic, so not to blame. The Q8 doesn’t have a scratch, so score one for the Q8, one down for the FW3A…
Strange, I can’t see either of fazalmajid’s images.
I know the problem is on my end because you all are referring to what you see. But I have no idea what the problem is….
I’m on my phone but I never have a problem seeing pictures. It’s got me stumped….
.
Edit to add…. I “never” have a problem unless some other people do also…. as RC mentioned below above.
I can’t even quote the post & see them.
Would some kind soul repost them so I can see if that makes a difference.
Agreed, the stainless bezel of the Q8 is the most likely suspect. In fact it is really the only suspect really besides the edge of the lamp stand base.
