Subwoofer,
Thank You for the reply. I am just trying to be as objective as possible to the XT8 lights review. My comments were not made to offend anyone or yourself. I appologize if I seem offensive, that is not my intent.
I asked in a round about way if your review was self posted, You answered that question, and more. I asked about your test equipment, test environments, and questioned your already stated methods. You stated you didn't mind constructive critisism to improve upon your reviews and processes. I have offered you mine based upon my experiences and knowledge I have, and your response appeared very defensive to me.
I try to do reviews unbiased and objectively. I do each review independantly. I duplicate/replicate identical tests that may have been included in other reviews. This provides the most accurate comparisons I can with the methods and tests I perform. My interjected comments state they are my opinion. If someone finds fault, I admit it, and change my review or comments based on the new information. I have not asked any of my reviews to be moved here. I do not have the time, equipment, and resources to do so. I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and It helps me to do better and get more enjoyment from this hobby.
Yes, reviewing lights is very time consuming and expensive, as I have found out. My questions I asked come directly from this XT8's reviews' content. ~57% of my questions were directly related to the light, you indirectly answered one of them. ~34% of my questions were related to your testing methodoligy and setup, you answered none. ~9% of my comments are associated with the above, and you answerd one.
Time permitting, IMO It would be great to see some of them answered. I appreciate you considering to doing so. Some of them may greatly add to the XT8s review.
