I’m so sorry to hear that, I consider you one of the most respected and technically minded BLFers
But his kind of scum is still far too common and we need to do more about it :person_facepalming:
There will be more grils to come in the near future. I welcome them all as this could led to less cynical looks from our grilfriends and wives as we sit in our workshop staring those tiny driver’s component for hours. Taking outdoor beamshots could be easier too when you have two additional helping hands.
My wife assisted me in testing the Eagle Eye X6 and the Thrunite TN42, will have her assist with future big throwers and whatever else comes down the pike. She apparently was watching in her rear view mirror when I was filming the X6 after she dropped it out the window at 60mph, saw it bounce up and flash past my head and said she wouldn’t do that again. I had thought it would be easy to duck it if it came my way, but I was looking through the camera’s optical viewfinder and didn’t realize it was coming so close. lol
Still gives me great pleasure watching the X6 skid across asphalt at highway speed and listen to the sound of it, looking at the light there are no tell tale signs that ever happened. Yes, I still have the light. It’s a triple now.
My wife is an LVN at a very large hospital, there are a great many women Doctors in specialist fields at this hospital, from China and India and Russia… literally all over the world. Surgeons, a great many of them, women have come a long way and shown a lot of moxie, combat fighter veterans in our Military included. Shame that some folks are so out of touch with reality. And “millions of years of evolution”, gee, I had no idea humans were that old a species!
TK is brilliant, all there is too it. A large majority of my lights use her advanced firmware and the reversing mechanical clicky has me spoiled, hate using a light without it.
Hmmm, anyone seen Chloe? Guess she got tired of the forum’s cavemen…
I found an old slide projector lens without the rest of the projector. It helps with looking at emitters in more detail, or looking at them while they’re lit up. For example, I took pictures of a XHP35 HI with it…
First with the camera using the lens for a direct shot (improves quality compared to the little camera by itself):
Then cropped and scaled up…
… and a shot of the emitter’s image projected about 3m onto a white sheet of paper:
Well, you sure got my 10 yr old, Daniel, head boppin to the music with a big chit eatin grin on his face! He loves it! He calls it an adventure game trailer lead song.
Very 80’s arcade. Makes you want to climb ladders, jump across gaps, and throw things at monsters.
I have the ladders here at work, and there are gaps I could jump across, but the only appropriate target is now in the Johannesburg branch.
