    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Sounds like a much better use of time than arguing here! :D (And maybe I'll go out and shine my DEFT-X at the moon....)

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    If you want to BS about meanings and make up definitions then go right ahead, but it doesn't make you right. The basic astronomy is out there if you want to learn it.

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Half (roughly) of the earth is in night and half (roughly) of the moon is in night. The other half (roughly) is in daylight. Um, you do know that we can see the moon when it's daytime on earth? That is to say, daytime at the observer's location. You seem to say night/day on the earth or...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    TEEJ, take a good look at the illustration in the second link I gave you. Notice the moon picture at the 12:00 position in the diagram - it is a first quarter moon. The sun is shining from the right illuminating only half of what we can see from the earth. The bright half of the visible moon...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    TEEJ, we see the night side of the moon a lot more often than you think. Any time the moon is not full or new we see portions of it that are not illuminated. Those areas that are not illuminated by the sun are in night. An eclipse of the sun by the earth doesn't create 'night' on the moon any...

    Wow. It's impressive even in the daylight. It's going to be totally awesome once it gets dark.

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    ? He got 950kcd out of a light than had previously been underperforming - how on earth is that anything like the cold fusion debacle?

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Order #1318 here and my first reply to this thread. Have to admit I would be a bit disappointed to get one of the five lights that are currently ready. I was expecting variation around 900 kcd, but not around 810 kcd. It's been a long wait but I would far rather wait for the perfected DEFT-X...

    For people who have FAITH in Michael & can talk about his work & offer our support.

    Re: For people who have FAITH in Michael & can talk about his work & offer our suppor I have a DEFT-HO, a DEFT-EDC, a DEFT-EDC LR, and finally a DEFT-EDC Enthusiast. So I don't really need faith in Michael's lights when I have firm solid proof of his excellent and amazing work.

    When did you order your HDS?

    Do I have great timing or what? You all should thank me - obviously the supply floodgates opened once I cancelled my order. I'm sure it's the same principle in action as the washing cars/rain phenomenon. :shakehead Oh well, maybe I'll try again in the future. In the meantime I'm getting a...
