    Microfire Light Storm S90

    Thanks BVH.. There is one thing that worries me tho: If we say the S90 has an optical aperture of 150mm, then I don’t think we’re far off. Maxablaster has some 220mm. A small simple calculation points out, that when the light engine of the S90 would be fitted with an optical diameter of 220mm...

    What short arc for maxabeam-like searchlight?

    What amazes me, is that when I started my Maxablaster project threads here, only a few members were aware of what things were nessesary for obtaining the best throw. And now many of you so much grew into this matter! Leaving not much for me to teach you.. You are the teachers now. During the...

    Maxabeam STROBING on startup???

    Well, I still find that very strange.. A depleted battery should not give such a stable on/off cycle, that is, I never found a battery that did the same to my MB.. But.. You're happy, so we're happy.. Ra.

    Maxabeam STROBING on startup???

    Ahh, I didn't know he was using a new bulb.. But some new bulbs can cause problems as well.. I know of at least one case, where MB had to be set to standard power to prevent shutoff during startup. Especially with a cold bulb, startup at low power is asking for shutdown in some cases. Depends on...

    I think you meant "Gen III 85W max,..." Regards, Ra.

    Maxabeam STROBING on startup???

    Looks to me you need a new bulb... When the battery can't keep up, it shuts off directly after startup, and doesn't try to ignite again unless you hit the power-switch.. The 'stable' situation you picture in your first post also doesn't point towards a bad battery, because in that case it should...
