we all know beans are better than peas. peas give me gas!
i think too many are getting hung up on the lumin rating of the burst mode of the Ra. for instance, yes the NT hits 120 L and can hold that for 30 minutes but to be honest i rarely use the highest setting for more than 5-10 seconds anyway. in fact, most of the time i set my NT at 10 L or less and only hit the high mode when i absolutely need it. 85 L seems more than enough to do what needs doing. when i do crank up to 120 it does tend to shock my eyes so i don't care for it much.
today i used my NT to look into a wall i had opened up to look at the pipes inside. there was a lot of ambient light and we were outside. that is when the 120 l helped but i only needed it for 10 seconds or less. otherwise, those higher numbers don't mean much to me.
if the new Ra's can just give me the same beam that i like in the NT without looking green or purple and be reliable i could care less whether they only hit 120 L for ten seconds.
