Consolidated Short Arc & HID spotlight Lux readings

[Colonel Sanders]

We should add the Fire Fox III and Magic Fire Scorpion to this list. I clocked 224k measured at 10m with my FF3.

Maybe Fritz should add his Hand-Sun HID as well.

done.

I happen to know someone who tested a 150w Vec192 (one with 2 x Barn Burner ballasts with 2 x DL50 Fatboy bulbs) tonight.

let me take a wild guess, it's in the 1-2 million cps range?

[Colonel Sanders]

You are quite correct. I tested the Vec192 against the Barn Burner. Before I spill it, let me preface by saying that my 10m test facility is indoors (garage) in a more or less dust free, bug free, low humidity environment which I think probably helps the numbers a bit over doing it outdoors.

I tested all the way from startup to around 2min so wherever the peak was, I got it. Does this make a difference compared to just checking at 2 min? I doubt it but just sayin'. I know my Barn Burner numbers are higher than what others have reported but I do think that my meter is accurate so that's why the long preface.

Anyway...

Barn Burner 988K cp
Vec192 1.65m cp

Added both lights into the Lux collection!

Now you've seen enough 1-2 million cps lights, you need to see what 16 million cps looks like, cross that off your bucket list
