Would not it be funny if in the future the most asked question just may be....."yeah, yeah, but what is the low level like on this light?"
After tint that has actually become my top priority!Would not it be funny if in the future the most asked question just may be....."yeah, yeah, but what is the low level like on this light?"
This is sort of related to the subject (preserving night vision).
One thing I had to start doing over the last couple of years (as I entered my 40s) was whenever I was turning off lights for the night, I would close my eyes before turning off the light.
Then when I opened my eyes, I was already partially adapted to the darkness.
However, the other night I was walking out of the bedroom into the hallway and turned off the hallway light with my eyes open. Whoa!!!! I had to stop moving until my eyes adapted for fear of walking on one of the cats (while my wife was laughing at me) :shakehead
Now, as a more experienced flashaholic, I stopped buying and relying on flashlights altogether and learned to use what I always had, my own eyes. I only use a flashlight if dark adapted vision isn't enough.
That has been happening; it swayed me towards buying another Nitecore (OOS at 4sevens, ugh!). When my eyes aren't adapted, then yeah, I want bright. I need my eyes to do the minimal amount of work (sensitizing cones, adjusting contrast levels, etc.). When it's dark, though, and I'll be out for a bit...that's not the case. Too many lights are getting brighter, but not necessarily better.Would not it be funny if in the future the most asked question just may be....."yeah, yeah, but what is the low level like on this light?"
