It shure has a wow-factor...

Nice job. I am still waiting for my replacement igniter from Peakbeam. One of these days I will finally light up the VSS-1!

If you live near the sea, just place that into your roof and you'll have a coastal lighthouse!

Please explain..

Ra.

It was just to grab our attention ;)

If it has the same efficency as a MB, then I would guess it's around 20000 lumens. Anyone with real numbers are very welcome to fill in.

cool stuff! i wonder if the human eye can tell the difference between a billion and a million lumens (or million and 500k).

thanks for pics

CarbonArc, You have my sympathies with respect to photographing beamshots!!! (More than you would know!) I have a fantasy of doing the "ultimate" shootout between the Vss-1 and 3A, and think I have enough DcA to light both of them! My desert shack sports a mountain range right at 2 mi across the valley, and that's the "advertized" working range. When it cools down enough in Oct. or Nov. I hope to pull it off! I'll do an invite for any SoCal CPF's to join and help when the time comes!
