I vote for sending the light to Ra for a extensive review first.Then continue the passaround after that.
He really knows HID and would give it a fair review.



Bring on the pictures/drawings im getting impatient here :D
Anything will do...
Color temperature,startup time etc etc..

That picture in the beginning of the thread does not reveal anything...

It's using the WA Solarc system which is 7500k and startup time to full brightness is around 15 seconds.

Well ... IMHO a great throw with the relatively weak power of a 10W HID won't cut it anyway, and thus a multi-LED light will be more useful than a 10W HID anytime.

But of course this is a very personal decision, and so I'll shut up now.

Interested in the real pics, too :D

I'm in for a passaround, too. I've got the HID bug, and this might keep me from buying a Helios for a while.

Your going to make me do a comparision aren't you :)

I have a tri-cree coming up and a 10w HID lying around somewhere.

I guess we will see.

I know you have had a microfire and just some info.....those import 10 watt systems don't even come close to the original Welch Allyn originals :) Glad to see this new light is using Top Notch components.

Indeed, with the ongoing revolution in the LED-world, HID will soon find itself in a tight spot.

LED's already begin to surpass HID in efficiency, but still have a long, long way to go as it comes to surface-brightness, which is important for throw.

Many members still want throw, and with 10watt HID, you can have that in quite a small pakkage. And with about 53 lumens/watt, it has decent lumens-output as well.

Ra.

Mac .. important point ... as I have only seen Microfire 10W HIDs and not the original Solarcs Litemania will use.
Still ... when looking at the numbers ... :p
Looking forward to your comparison though!!! I love comparisons :D
