see you clearly too? I failed my physics.
i say no
Not if your xm-l’s driven hard enough J)
He can’t see you, unless you are standing a fairly lit place yourself. The bright light coming from him will actually make it harder for you to see him.
Only if you shine it at him in broad daylight, then he could see you as well as you see him. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that if the light was needed to be able to see someone 200m away, then all they’d see looking back at you is the light itself? Hence the single light bulb interrogation technique.
Look at it in broad terms. What is beyond our sun? Stars in a black sky. Ever see any stars beyond the sun? To dim that ideology down, the full moon makes it difficult to see stars at night in the surrounding area of the moon. And it’s not even a light source, merely a grey stone/dirt surface reflecting light.
It has to do with contrast. When faced with a light source, our pupils have to contract to deal with the brightness. We can’t see into the dark with contracted pupils. Just like using a camera, very difficult to take a picture of someone when it’s fairly dark and there’s light coming from behind them. If you adjust aperture and shutter speed to capture their face, the background will be severely (proportional) overexposed.
So, if you’re shining light on someone, 200m or whatever, then they have an illumination source to enable you to see the details. But you usually hold the light out in front of you so that you yourself will be able to see. This is done in such a way as to allow none of that light to show the details of your own face to the other person, keeping you in the dark behind a point of light creating a high contrast that doesn’t enable them to see into the darkness where you are standing. If they, in turn, were to shine a light back at you would you then be able to see them so clearly? Not if their light were as bright as yours but you and they would both see some detail and might even make out just who it was holding the light as each of you would have illumination on your faces.
This is also why it’s very difficult to hold a lit candle in front of you while walking in the dark, just as much light is coming back at you as is lighting the way, making your pupils contract and thus making the relative darkness in front of you hard to see into. And so, reflectors were born.
Hope that sheds some light on your dilemma.
Just think of a motorbike coming at you in the dark can’t see nothing but it’s headlight.
No but he can see where to shoot at the dude shining a light at him.
What’s her name Lipo? Does she know you are following her?
He wont see anything but a bright light shining him in the eyes!
If you can clearly see someone at 200m shining a “torch” at them, I wanna know what torch you’re using! (I put torch in quotes as here in Texas we call em flashlights)
If he has a TK75, and shines back at you he will see you. I call that the flashaholic hand shake. Any coworker who shines a light at me knows to cover there eyes or atleast squint LoL
I’ve been in that position many times. I regularly test the throw on my lights by being at the receiving end with a meter ranging from 50m up to 900m. And I can tell you any decent thrower will pretty much effectively blind be at 200m if I look in the direction of the light being used. I use a big clipboard with my meter on the front and sensor mounted the back. The clipboard is help up in front of my eyes to allow me to see the meter readings. And when I’m silly enough to not have the clipboard in front of me with a light like our SR90, BTU, or TN31 is used - I pay for it with spots in my yes for a few seconds. At a distance of 200m, those 3 lights will be putting anywhere from 3 - 5 lumens in your eyes. That is plenty bright enough to cause involentary eye closing or turning of the head to avoid the annoying light. Won’t blind for for more than a few seconds, but its still very uncomfortable to try to look at.
Even at distances of 500m you can’t see crap of the person shooting the light. So no - at 200m you will not see the person shooting a light at you if its even a moderate thrower. Been there, done that.
I read his question differently. But who knows. OP?
