Welcome kdubs!

Nice collection

Ohhhhhh..What app is that?

Just go on Android market and type in light meter in search engine. I have three of them on my phone. They are all free. I have never tested them against a real light meter but when you want to some ceiling bounce tests they are perfect. They all seem to give the same readings. Thanks

Hey, I have been a flashaholic about 4 years. I do some light building ( switching out led, drivers etc.) with some rudeamentery soldering. First thrower was a tiablo (t9 I believe) and havent looked back from there.I try to own a flashlight from all the different leds: p4,q3,q5,r2,xpg,xml,ssc, sst 50 and 90. I have a bunch of recorded flashlight beams from most of my lights. Every store that has flashlights , I look at them. Drives the wife crazy. She seems to put up with lights though. After all I give her pampered chef, so its a trade off. Thanks

Welcome to BLF !
I really dig the font on the Dry - is that a house industries font?

Welcome to BLF, kdubs!! Great collection you have there! 8)

Out of curiousity, what did it cost to have your DRY laser etched like that? I am interested in doing something like that on a few of my lights.

Welcome to BLF

Sick collection !

just curious, where'd you get that case?

nice collection. my sk4g must have a cheap light sensor, it maxes out at 15000 lux with any of my torches, and jumps from 6 to 5000 to 9000 to 15000. but the s4g is junk anyway. the apps say max lux is 120000 on my phone but ive yet to see it

I think it was juice itc

I think it was carry cases plus

I went to lazer designs.com

It cost 18 plus the shipping there and back. They have done a mag lite for me in the past. They did a nice job and relatively quick

That is real cool. Gonna put "Foy" on one of my lights.

Welcome!

...I almost read the title wrong like "Big Greta..." hrhrhhhh...


Thanks for the heads up on the light meter apps, kdubs. I've got a LG Revolution that runs Android. Later tonight I will download and see if they work on my phone. I've been meaning to buy a light meter, but if this works, all the better.

Nice job on a nice light btw.

I don’t know how accurate the meters are but for doing multiple tests it will at least give you an idea of comparable brightness
