Intro with Beamshots

Confirmed gadgetaholic here, flashlights included of course. First order of business was buying New-Lumens from Old-Lumens ( https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/5232) . Here is the FatBoy beam on my shop. I put the camera in "night scenery" mode but it still does not look like what you can see with your eyes

.

OK on this one I tried to capture the width of the beam. It is cold out so I breathed onto the front and tried to snap it. It is fuzzy but you can see the middle shoot out and then a super wide spill. It is very wide and you can see things hiding on the sides like moose or whatever.

welcome

I've got some serious shop envy right now.

The last Moose I saw was 30+ years ago. I didn't need a light, I was running too fast!Embarassed

Glad you like the light. I love having a flood light. Makes me feel safer in close areas.

It is not a joke. Last year I was walking with what I thought was the latest and greatest. It is a SAiK with a P7 I think. Anyway, I sense something close and I turn to the left and all I see is brown, the brown hide of a moose! Spitting distance and luckily it was in a tranquil mood. I have had other encounters with belligerent ones that would stomp you in a second. So side spill is good for my walks.

Nope, I wasn’t kidding either. It was in Canada and the moose wasn’t in much of a pleasant mood. I’ve had a black bear look me over too and that was fairly scary. All of it was in the daylight, so a flashlight wouldn’t do me much good though.
