Wow, you got me on this one. It worked incredibly well too. They piled into their car and sped off in less than 30 seconds of an XM-L strobe in their face, they didn’t know what to think or where it came from.
I still don’t like strobes on an EDC, but for the high power XM-L barn burners, I am starting to like strobes quite a lot. Manufacturers: Just take away the SOS (or OSO) mode PLEASE!
If you've ever attempted or even planned to upgrade your lawnmower's headlights to XM-L's, you might be a flashaholic. (Note: No I haven't made any more progress on this other than acquiring parts.)
Sounds perfectly pragmatic to me! Those garden tractor headlights are utterly worthless aren’t they? Especially given that usually one doesn’t mow the lawn in pitch blackness, but rather at dusk when there is still enough ambient light to make it impossible to see the headlights, let alone do work with them.
Ha! I have done this! On a dark country road with my 7G5 on the driver side and my king on the passenger side. Hell the king put out more light than my headlights do anyway. It was awesome!
2Yup, a huge Husky hand held spot light beam can make a hundred+ arms instantly appear in a parked car. Our house is in the woods and there was a house less culdesac across a creek next to the house. It was a popular parking spot, but when they played really loud music it was time to go.
