What's your favorite source of light?

LED-holic · #2 06-13-2008, 08:46 AM

It's my LED flashlights, namely my Fenix LED lights to be specific, because of the ease of use / intuitive operation mostly.

My Whelen Mini Edge light bar on my truck. In flashlights, my SureFire 6P with R2.

No contest, the Sun.

Trick ques.. err answer. The moon.

Always been a late afternoon into night type of guy.

StarHalo · #7 06-13-2008, 03:14 PM

+1 for the Moon, you can't beat naturally reflected low-level lighting..

Favorite source of flashlight light thus far would be my TerraLUX TLE-300 Mag, uncommonly good color rendition for LEDs, even from a looong ways away

The sun and the moon - they're essential.

BlueBeam22 · #9 06-13-2008, 03:49 PM

The moon for sure.

campfire ... there's something about campfire that's so mesmorizing that allows you to bond with strangers.

I'm definitely with you on that one. It's just so indispensable. I use mine every day (I'm even using it right now) and some of my food has used it to grow when I'm not using it and it's not even in view. It also has the bonus of being nice and warm at least some of the time.

I think I'll go with the Sun behind some moderately thick clouds. It creates nice, diffuse light without harsh shadows, and doesn't immediately blind me.

Burgess · #13 06-14-2008, 01:07 AM

Yep ! Me too !

Sunlight, through a heavy overcast.

No shadows at all. Just pure, soft illumination.

Oh, but i want my NIGHTS to be completely clear.

In the winter, a fireplace with red glowing coals late at night, just before bed, no other lights in the room.

I have to agree totally with this statement! Me and my wife were at a family campfire by the lake a few weeks ago, and I loved it!!!!

Same here! Full sunlight is way too bright with way too many shadows. A little diffusion and it's perfect.

Second favorite is a toss-up between properly-balanced RGB LED and full-spectrum fluorescent (tubes not CFLs as they're more diffuse). Moonlight/starlight is a close third.

Least favorite is definitely sodium-vapor lights. Those things create an awful ambience, sort of like how I imagine hell to look like should it really exist. I'm none too fond of any type of fire, or typical household incandescent either (although overdriven hotwires look OK to me), for similar reasons.

I love campfire light. I can sit and stare for hours when I'm camping.I also like moonlight.

+1! Fie on you, LPS!

TOOCOOL · #19 06-14-2008, 07:32 PM

The one at the end of the tunnel

jchoo · #20 06-14-2008, 07:40 PM

I also prefer the moon - there's nothing better than a natural ceiling bounce test!

Triple A · #21 06-15-2008, 08:59 AM

It would be the sun- with its perfect color balance- but the thing gets so damn hot if you leave it on too long! I'll go with the moon for the perfect, diffuse lighting. Pretty solid for romance with my lady, as well!

SilentK · #22 06-15-2008, 07:43 PM

Short carbon arc.

but i truley perfer a good led and after that a nice bright HID

Strong SkySweep.

metlarules · #26 06-16-2008, 06:29 AM

Definitely campfire and a photon red to find my way to the icechest.

yuandrew · #27 07-02-2008, 08:25 PM

5000K fluorescent tubes.

Either that or an overcast day.

rain5539 · #28 07-20-2008, 01:09 AM

Surely the sunlight is the best!

But if no sunlgiht, i prefer to Green light that is no pollution, low power consumption, and recircled

So LED Light Scource will be a better solution, right?
