Re: Polarion Night Reaper
Excellent observations Bob. It's almost as if the corona that's so defined in the PH50 as been squeezed into a more narrow angle and is throwing it further down range. The tree on the right is much more brightly lit by the NR as well.
It is much brighter "lighter" including the curb all the way up to the edge of the frame.
lol...yes, I've never thought about trying to turn that light off. The 84W Blitz might have.
I wish that I had a BB as well just for fun. Although the NR is a powerhouse I just don't think 50 or 55W is going to make an overly impressive showing for itself compared to a 75-80W light. I witnessed this first hand when comparing the PH50 to the 84W blitz. Completely different platforms of course but the Polarion gets the gold medal when it comes to the combination of attributes, especially in the form factor category. It's so wonderful to use these as opposed to a Kleenex box with a handle mounted on top. I think I recall you making that observation when you still owned your PH40.
There looks to be a VERY significant increase in Lumens output, not just a different focusing reflector. To me, the beam itself in the foreground of the NR shot is larger in diameter as if it was slightly geared towards more flood. And more trees on either side of the beam are lit up and more of the tower itself is lit up - again supporting flood. However, the tower itself is more brightly lit than with the PH50 - supporting throw. So....You can't have it both ways unless there's more Lumens.

Interesting there is a very defined outer corona in the PH50 shot but almost no defined corona in the NR shot. Look at the color of the asphalt in the NR shot. Much lighter than in the PH50 shot.
My only disappointment??? The far streetlight is still on!!!
Paul, I wish you had a BarnBurner to do a comparison with.
