Did these ship with insurance? I'm just wondering if I'll need to be home to sign for it? Getting ready to take the kids fishing, and I don't want to miss out on my delivery.

Yup, USPS will just leave the package at your door. No signing needed.

My ballast sings all the time I hooked it to a power supply and ran it for over an hour yesterday evening and the sound stayed the same. When I took it outside to try it out I barely noticed the sound but inside it does sound louder. The metal band around the head of the light will get hot after a while but not enough to really burn you from touching it.

Nah.....I'm leavin mine alone. I like everything about the light so I need not risk breaking some thing. But, I am curious to see the inside since you're taking yours apart (wink wink /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif).
Also, my batteries haven't come yet!!! They better come tomarrow or I'm calling allpowersupply to find out what's up /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon8.gif. I'm certainly not paying full price on 3 day shipping that took 5+ days.

Nice looking light...what does one of those run and how do you get one?

My light was $179+shipping and stuff = about $198.
WELL worth the money. I am in love with this light.
I got mine from a GB from Mr Ted Bear. I guess you could try to contact him to see if he is willing to do another one. Oh ya, a REALLY GREAT LIGHT!!!

Took mine out this morning and the dawn chorus lasted only until the lamp was warmed up... after that it is quieter than my SF U2 on dim...

Hmmmm....That's interesting. Me and Sway's lights sing the whole time they are on. It dosn't seem that the ballast quiets down at all.

I was working at a station the other night that has a large municipal water tower on the property. I kept looking at it then the HS HID then back again. I so wanted to try it out and see just how it lit up, but somehow the moment never presented itself, and besides, I guess it was best, not to have one of the nearby neighbors thinking that the war of the worlds had begun...
I hit it once a while ago with my M6 shortly after acquisition and my partner stood open mouthed and issued a H... S...
Maybe next time....

That's just great /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif
I am sorry the beamshots are taking so long, but I can't seem to be able to turn off the flash on my camera no matter what I do/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon8.gif. I am to the point of just covering the flash point with a piece of black paper. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Hey everyone,
finally took some beamshots of the HS (not outside ones. I'll try later). There are pics of the Mag85 in there also.
This is just a pic with the light on. The pic looks more yellow than in real life. HS.
Here is a pic from 25.8 feet. Its in an unfinished basement in my friends house /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. HS.
Same 25 foot shot. HS.
Here is the Mag85
Mag85 from the 25 feet
An unzoomed pic for the Mag85from the 25 feet
Here is QIII on top, Mag85 in middle, HS on bottom. That is my best friend Caleb's head by the way.

Okay, sorry, that's quite a few pictures.
I don't know when or where I can get outside shots. I am thinking golf course. 500 yards. But, I'm gonna wait for warmer days. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Also apologize for the qulity of the pictures. First, it is a cheap camera so there isn't any white balance or anything, and the batteries were nearing their end so some of the shots are unfocused.

Last thing, the HS appears much more yellow in some of the pictures in real life. But, I was using my friends 54 year old 2 MP camera that is a piece of crap. I would have used my camera but I can't turn the flash off on mine (that's prettuy stupid. I think every camera should have the "no-flash" feature.
