HID Heavy Iron Beam Shots

Maybe lips or someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. But From my understanding Lips offers H3 & H4 bulbs with his 84w ballast. Would H4 be ok in a Ti-mega reflector?
 
That blitz looks like it could light up the darkside of the moon!

You need a longer beamshot... 350yards is just childplay for the intensity of that beam.. lets bump it up to 750 (1/2 mile) and see if the other lights even make the trip!
 
It's 880 yards which just happens to be the distance between three powerline towers. :) Funny that you mentioned this since I was scoping out the neighborhood just yesterday. I'm trying to find a spot near my house that I could do this without offending anyone. Light pollution is a slight problem though.
 
That would be an awesome beamshot.. the first tower would let plenty of light though to see the second and then the third.... great idea!
 
I was looking at one particular spot and for it to make a nice presentation I'll probably have to stand about 50 yards and 90 degrees to the first tower. That gives me enough angle on the third tower without the second tower being too binding. We'll see..... Lately it's just been too stinking hot here. It was pushing 100 degrees around 8:30AM yesterday. I stepped out at midnight yesterday to let the dog out and a blast of hot air came in when I opened the door. By the time I work in it or ride my mountain bike, I just feel like crawling into a dark cave and hiding. :sweat:


Here is what I look forward to every time my truck sits in the sun for about 20 minutes.

That was on the shady side of the console. The top of the dash near the windshield was 242 degrees!!!

BVH, can you give me some details about how you modified that Blitz? And what is a "lips" ballast? - is that the name of a dealer?
 
"Lips" is a member here.

Here's my build thread - no pointer posts allowed so i could not directly link it.

:crackup: Sorry Copperfox... but Im sure lips will think thats quite funny too!

If I didnt know lips, I would wonder that too! :laughing:
 
would that be considered a pointer post? Can I link it?
Links to other posts/threads are perfectly OK, and indeed they can be helpful. It is pointer threads which are not allowed, where a thread is started with the sole purpose of drawing attention to to another thread by linking to it.

So, BVH - it is 100% OK to post your link there.
