My first flashlight surgery.. The patient lived!!

These pictures weren’t posted as distance. The question was about the tint of the light before and after.

Domed looks much better to me, as said it certainly affects the spill, making it much wider and dimmer after de doming, I like the after de doming color better though.

It looks blue with less spill.

I like the color after the de-dome as well. It is throwing out there much better without the dome tho…. :slight_smile:

I think the true throw is hard to see when it is targeted on something close, I notice the building to the right and far back from the garage is only visible in the domed piccie.

Its much easier to tell on the longer shots… ( Although I have yet to master them ) LOL These shots were just checking for tint. It’s very easily discernible when shining the light around.

+1

There we drastical variables in weather as well… It wasn’t as dark when I took the domed picture. It was much later with the de-domed light & was trying to snow. Not to mention it’s my cell phone I am using to take them!! :smiley:

It takes good pictures!! Congrats on your de-dome!!

…and the white balance is “auto”, which means that the camera tries to guess what it should be. If, and when, the camera uses different white balance for these shots, they don’t tell us much.

Which reminds me of the old saying: “A photo lies more than thousand words.” :wink:

Thats interesting… I had no idea…

should do some 100+ yard beamshots. So we folks with X6 can determine if we want to do this or not.

Make your checks or money orders out to Dale c/o BudgetLightForum…. LMAO

You do!! I did it and you can tell a difference!! Here’s 2 pictures at 258 yards.

I know some real flashaholics in here. Everyone I know told me to do this. ( I wanted someone to blame if I didnt like it ) I can tell you with no reservations. This light is throwing much farther… The actual kcd boost is being scrutinized as we speak. The stock kcd is right around 45 kcd… The reports I am getting from people much more fanatical then myself? De-doming can kick your kcd up to 70-82 kcd… Now I honestly am not sure what the hell that means. But I can say this… The light is throwing out farther than it was with the dome… And no, I don’t know why it’s doing it. I am just happy that it is… LMAo

Great pictures!

I have examined those pictures… And you were 2 meters closer in the one picture. LOL! :smiley:

:open_mouth: :bigsmile: :wink:

Couldn’t help myself….

ya pointing to the sky gonna really tell me how it works :smiley: sorry man it aint’ cutting it.
