To start, I love my Haiku 3S HCRI and it hasn't left my side at all since I picked it up Monday. Truly is a work of art and the F&F is beyond the several dozen lights I have.
With that out of the way, a few things irk me and I'd like to see if they're "normal".
1. Emitter slightly off center. It's not really bad and Don notes there is no provision for a perfectly centered emitter. That's ok and you don't notice it in normal use though I bring it up only because of the next two points.
2. This is a "paper plate beamshot" from a few inches away. There is a funny looking off center black hole. Again you'll only notice when you're about 7 inches or less from the projection surface. I'm thinking that the black hole is "normal" but it's off center because the emitter is. Kind of neat, actually :naughty:
3. Multi-tiered ring. You'll see the center hotspot, then the first fill, a black ring, then the rest of the fill. Is this normal? This characteristic is definitely noticable in normal use whether one foot or a dozen feet away.
Thanks for looking!
