HID Heavy Iron Beam Shots

[BVH]

Give a man a tripod and see what happens!

First shots are about 160 Yards. Cam settings are F3.5 & 3.2 seconds. I would say I could have increased the F Stop (? not sure if that means open it up more or is it reversed?) Anyway, a longer exposure or a larger opening would have been more representative of what I saw with regard to corona and spill. All the spill is missing and some of the corona is missing. Next time!

All Wattages are at the bulb.

Barn Burner 80 Watts

Costco 80 Watts

Twin vector 192 80 Watts each for total of 160 Watts

Blitz 84 Watts

BB & Blitz

Costco & Blitz

Twin Vector 192 & Blitz


Now some long range shots. Yardage is about 350 give or take.

Blitz

Twin Vector 192

The Blitz reflector is just amazing at focusing. The color temp difference you see is very representative of what I saw.

WOW!! Yes, this does appear to be the heavy metal thread...lol.

The Blitz is simply awesome BVH. Very nice job with the light itself and the picture taking. Increase F stop = less light but more depth of field. Lowering the F stop + more light but less depth of field.

That Blitz is very impressive 😱

Great beamshots. I tried outdoor beamshots once and they came out terrible.

 

[PhantomPhoton]

Those are some beautiful beamshots, thanks.
Maybe one day I'll be motivated enough to sit down and do all the necessary work/ learning for an 80W HID. :sigh:
I'm positive I need one or two of them.

i love your lights man!!

Marvellous shots! The Blitz is amazing. I'm very impressed by that Costco too.

I am blown away by your Blitz!!! Its beam is like a laser compared to the other lights, and I imagine it must be able to brightly illuminate objects 1 mile away with ease. Thank you for sharing all these of the awesome beamshots BVH.🙂

Thanks much for the beamshots. That Blitz has a hotspot that looks like it'll never end. Now I might have to build one of these. Thanks alot😀

This thread is proof positive that commercial HID's are child's play.

I mean 50w just doesn't cut it AT ALL compared to these.

We need 100-200watt HID's with compact ballasts. Technology is too limited 🙁

Nice pics Bob.

 

[BVH]

Yes, we need one of my 300 Watt Locators in an Xeray shell!

BVH... Nice shots my man. I wish I can get outdoor shots...or hell indoor shots to come out that good.

 

[Flashanator]

Hey Bob, is that Blitz 84 one of Lips HID kits?

If so, do you think the ballast would fit in my Ti-Mega?

 

[BVH]

Yes, it's one of Lips ballasts and I don't think it would fit. It's larger than the ballast I used in my Costco (TiMega) and that was a very tight fit. If you wanted to go with a smaller battery, it would probably work.

 

[windstrings]

I'm sure that 9" reflector has a little to do with it!....

So whose selling these all modded up and everything?

I'll take one to go!

 

[Flashanator]

Bob I decked my whole Ti-mega out, just a hollow housing.

Do you think I might be able to still fit lips 84w ballast with a small Li-Ion?

It sounds like that could be an option flash.

Costco & Blitz

Bob, I forgot that you had already compared the Costco80W to the Blitz84W so I was speculating on the differences in my most recent Blitz thread when I didn't have to. They're right there for me! That's just about the difference I expected though and perhaps the Blitz even exceeded my expectations. These really are great beamshot btw.
