As promised, I will reveal the details of the Burn Burner in just a moment or so. But first, I have to give everyone a little "background" on a "little problem" we encountered in doing the shotout last evening.
I hope that everyone is current on the relationship between AZ Project of Japan, and XeVsion USA. Everyone should know that there was a discussion about the two companies, and why there was a price discrpency even after import duties etc was factored into XeVsion's pricing.
Long story short, XeVision justified their price because they changed out the factory bulb, with a GE bulb; in XeVisions opinion, the GE bulb is a better bulb that the one offered by AZ Project .
Well, a fellow CPF member got tired of hearing the BS, so he went out of his way, got an AZ bulb and sent it to me to compare with the GE bulb. AZ Project heard about what was going on, and ask this other CPF member, to ask me, NOT to post pictures of their bulb compared to the GE... they must have known their bulb didn't compare.
AZ Project, you need to work on your bulb.... I will not keep CPF members "in the dark"
.
Now with regards to the Barn Burner....
XeRay using a Phillips DL50 overdirven with custom 75 watt ballast. XeVsion has has been doing this for a while in aircraft applications, they just put it in a hand held unit. They are working to reconfigure the batteries for longer run time.
Ome more thing... I kinda like the XeRay50 using the Phillips DL50 bulb

First, my thanks to mtnbkdad for assisting with tonights exercise.
Lets not waste time
Tonight we had the Costco HID, Polarion, X990, new NFA, XeRay 35 (two versions), XeRay 50 (three versions), Thor HID mod, and last and best, the Barn Burner (top left and lower right).
Just a little more to write, and full review tommorrow
