There were no lights at this spot, amazingly enough. They call it a park, there were a couple of picnic tables and the place for about 4 cars to park, no streetlights at all and it was pitch black from across the lake. I had my brother turn on a Sofirn Triple C8 so I could locate him, then I lined up a green laser on this magazine cover, held in a double clamp on the upright post of my tripod. I removed the laser and put the light in it’s place. That’s how I got the centering alignment done.
Obviously, even at 1.3 miles the light is illuminating the white rocky shoreline of the lake and making the pickup visible, even firing up the reflectors on the pickups side markers. Amazing!
Coyotehawk will add your names to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order. (Uses PayPal, btw)
You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock.
Welcome to BLF.
Ps, The group buy is still open, but could close at any time.
AR, in the mid 40’s and the beam was across 1.3 miles of water, about 7’ off the water at my end and maybe 20’ above the water at my brother’s end. Otherwise we have low humidity and it’s a calm night, no fog. (50% humidity now, I took those shots not long after dark, about 7:00PM.
