Polarion PF50 in underground Cave

Ken J. Good · Jan 6, 2009

We sent a PF50 to a photographer, Stephen Alvarez for a story (underground caves) that will appear in National Geographic this June.

I asked for a preview, but his contract prohibits it.

He did send me to his website, where he posted a fantastic image of an underground cave/flood that will not be used in the feature article.

Awesome! PF50....I find it annoying that there is a light out there with MORE lumens than my PH40. I must have one. Time to sell my car...

Very cool videos. Ken, why does he say that you lent him a PF-40 in his blog (vs. PF-50 in thread subject)?

Ken J. Good · Jan 13, 2009

A. The body of the light he had said, PF40. (I stated in another thread here on CPF that I lent him one of my 2 modded PF40's)

B. I told him I was giving him a PF50 (really a PF40 with a 50-watt ballast), but I sure with all that water that flooded his brain housing group he forgot.

C. He is a photographer, not an HID technophobe....at least not yet!

Ahhh......just wanted to make sure you got the proper credit for the right light, especially if it is going to be in Nat Geo.

I never saw this thread before until now. I just happened across it while searching for one of my old PH40 posts.

In any case I was impressed with the video and comments from the Nat Geo dude, so I'm bumping it for others who may have missed it.

:bump:

Kinda makes you want to huge your PH50 doesn't it. :grouphug: I just wish someone would post a picture of the light so we could all see the beating it took.

I gave that particular light to: http://www.mgvp.org/
It will have quite a history by the time it does it's duty.

Found a video of the cave adventure.

You can see when the Polarion is "fired up"

Very cool!

The PF50 was at the 2:20 mark right? Was it also the flood light in the other close range shots?
