Welcome to Budget Light Forum! You should have been here in the old days, the quote brackets could get 30 deep! Misdirection was the rule of the day, not otherwise.
You will still be notified when itās time to buy the light, nothing else really relevant at this point anywayā¦ everyoneās waiting for the springs to be updated and weāll pretty much be ready to go, or so I understand it.
As for me, I donāt subscribe to ANY thread, so I donāt get email or any alerts.
I just click the ārecent postsā then scan the new posts on threads that interest me, and thatās it.
Several hundreds of posts of ācount me in for 1 (or 2)ā canāt be any less bothersome than the āoff-topicā you are referring toā¦ :disappointed:
The powerās that be have relegated me to the back burner, as it were. Thus, Iām in a holding pattern to be inflicted indefinitely with this nightmarish scene that has played an endless loop for the last 9 weeks. Steps are being taken to enlist a higher order of powerās that be in the effort to acquire the said Ti armor which will, of course, at the very least, take more time. And so it goes. I am almost certain this is an underhanded diabolical attempt to destroy the financial juxtaposition of the flashaholic that is me. I will fight, rest assured!
OKā¦. Thank you for the info. Yeah the āugly blueā was what I was wondering about?
Come to think of it maybe the blue tinted headlights I am thinking about may not even be LEDās??? I just know when an oncoming car has them they are blindingā¦ to me anyway.
As of now, itās a no go. (This, courtesy of the Neuropsychology evaluation) The Big Dawg of Orthopedic Spine Reconstruction is scared. I do understand the sentiment, but this hot wire in my left arm over-rides the emotional data. So I will be trying for a consult with the Big Dawgās at Neuro. And continuing to enjoy the ever present hot wire. Who knows? Perhaps it could be put in a flashlight? (Is it strange that my thumb shows an amperage reading of 0.388 on my clamp meter? ) Hmmmmmā¦ gotta be something I can do with thatā¦
Car headlight update are pretty easy here, you are not allowed to do it.
Not that it stop fast and furry boys, and as if thatās not enough they will also be driving with the fog light going too, though there have been no fog within 2000 miles of Denmark for months.
I think kids today are blind mofos for staring at those phone screens.
Most of the bright blue lights you see are HID kits that have retrofitted. These have been popular for the last 10 or 12 years ever since the OEMs started using them. People just toss them in and donāt readjust their lights. Or else the light source is not where it should be and it messes up the beam pattern.
Leds in cars is a relatively new thing the last 2 or 3 years. There are not many out there on the road yet. Most led kits use big round leds that are bright (some are not), but donāt mix well with reflectors. Again the beam patterns get all screwed up.
Led headlights are still in their infancy and are moving away from fan cooled and huge emitters to passive cooling and small emitter groups that mimic the size, shape and location of the original filaments. These will give very good beam patterns as well as much more brightness.
On a projector light, the light source is less critical because you have the cutoff shield which prevents glare.
āGoodā led lights for reflectors are quite hard to find.
Here are some āgoodā leds I found for my 86 Honda motorcycle that has a reflector headlight. Note the sharp cutoff (just like stock), plus itās much brighter than stock.
Forget about it. The threadās been hijacked by a bunch of people who clearly get enjoyment in annoying others. Theyāre in here specifically because they get a lot of visibility. You know, like a bunch of attention seeking teens with too much time on their hands, except without the excuse of being young. No amount of arguing will reason with people who donāt give a damn about others because āweāre having fun in hereā.
Well personally I prefer the off topic banter than nothing at all when there is nothing to report, I suppose you would complain about lack of posts if there were days or even weeks between posts due to no off topic posts, besides where is the on topic content in your post
Hmm, in the people having fun in this thread I do not recognise āattention seekingā and āenjoyment in annoying othersā. I just see people having fun, thatās all, IMO off-topic fun is a good tradition on BLF (and thereās no age limit for that! )
+1 :+1: ā¦ Thanks for saying that nicely David! I can now just agree with you and be spared writing something not so āpleasantā.
Nowā¦ back to our regularly scheduled program of āchildish attention seeking funā while also patiently awaiting news of the Q8 variety.
