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 onā¦ 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 thumbā¦ easy and simple one handed operation.
Itās 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 doesnāt show it like thatā¦ it almost looks like a Comet is being released out of the column of light. Weird, but there it isā¦
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.
Yeah, my Dadās near Grandview, and Iāve got a brother north of Houston. Iāve spent time in San Antonio and Amarillo, and driven Texas east-west and north-south. I have relatives in OK (Alto Texas). TX has it all, but if you look at the satellite photos on Google Maps, an awful lot of it looks like your neck of the woods. Almost moved there this summer, but things didnāt line up.
My daughter graduated High School in Grandview! Go Zebras! lol (small world sometimes)
I was thinking the same thing PP, maybe higher lux (hopefully) At any rate I have 3 on the way. (Well, I have one on the way and two back-ordered til after CNY)
Shocker was like 100 mm head diam, big enough to be a decent thrower. Think I got 500+ kcd with dedomed XM-L2's at the time. Still look'n for a cheaper 3 LED ~100 mm diam head thrower with e-switch - basically same as a Shocker but with an e-switch, 3-4 cell parallel setup. The SP03 is close actually, with a 75 mm wide reflector.
Dale - Nice job on this btw! Probably a tad better than a GT90. I would think measuring throw at over 10 meters, should bump up the kcd, maybe over 2000 kcd?
