Large pine forests in the East, big time Hill Country in the Southern Central areas, with big canyons and mountains in the West. The grasslands of Northern Central Texas are vast and of course the Valley down in South Texas grows mega crops. We recently drove to New Orleans on I-10 and I remember counting down the mile markers leaving Louisiana, entering Texas on I-10 the mile marker was 888 if I remember correctly (actually 880 miles)… that’s a LOT of I-10 across Texas and the scenery changes a drastically! And thats across the lower portion of the State.
I have a Maxtoch LEP and while it does throw outrageously it only makes 300 some-odd lumens. To throw over a mile with close to 5000 lumens is just insane!
When I got it done my back was kicking me so I sat down in a recliner in the den to chill a bit. Pointed it at the lamp across the room and turned it on… the intensity made me laugh like the fool I probably am! Giggles, hahaha, not even close!
Balance point is about middle of the cooling fins in the bare al head, some inch and a quarter in front of the switch. In hand, comfortably balanced, the switch sits under the joint of my thumb… easy and simple one handed operation.
It’s a wet night, almost foggy with a heavy mist swirling in the breeze. I can see the parallel column of light out in the distance to some 150 yds, but a picture doesn’t show it like that… it almost looks like a Comet is being released out of the column of light. Weird, but there it is…
The weather was just the same here a few nights ago and I did the same thing with about 9 lights, mostly throwy, 4000K, 5000K and one at 6500K. Took 10 second videos for better capture. Misty mesmerizing movies.
