Hi guyzz,

Beams with Maxabeam on low spot:

Beams with Maxabeam on high spot:

Trees at 400 yard's, close to sunset, Maxabeam at low spot: With dificulty, you can see the Maxabeam spot on the middle of the second tree just left of the tree enlightened by Maxablaster:

this is truly amazing, it's really hard to see the maxabeam's effect whereas the Maxablaster is unbelievable bright:faint:

For the record: It's not my Maxabeam! At least, not any more.. I sold it earlier to a good friend of mine, so if we feel the need, me and my friend can meet and cross our beams from time to time!

When I bought my Maxabeam earlier, I got it quite cheap, without a battery. I didn't have the money to buy a very expensive stock-battery, so I made one myself! It's a 12 volt 7.2 Ah SLA, with auxillary led-lights (12 front, 3 back) Also at the back, is a 10-led battery-check module build in, which very acurately (accurate within 1 minute!!) tells you when the lamp is going to shutt off !
If you handle those SLA's the way you should, they can be in top shape for years and years: The SLA in this unit works perfectly for about 7 years now, and I'm shure it will for years to come!

The colortemp of Maxablaster is not as good as Maxabeam: There is a nasty green Hg-line very intense, which gives the reflection a greenish look, even on the brownish trees at the pics.. (These trees don't have leaves during the winter..)

Best,

Ra.

Maxablaster is the wrong name.

I think you should have called it the PIGASD: portable inter-galaxy alien signalling device.

Ra, what did that cow ever do to you?

Ra, how many more times brighter is the surface brightness of mercury short arc compared to XSA & then plane old halogen. Also how how many more times brighter is XSA to halogen?


thanks. :thumbsup:

thanks. :thumbsup:

The surface brightness of the HBO-103W2 arc is about 2-2.5 times higher than the XSA of Maxabeam. In the short-arc world, there is quite a lot variation in surface brightness, higher wattage not nesseserally means higher surface brightness. With halogen, the surface brightness is directly connected to the filament-temperature. When you push halogen to it's limits with overdrive, the HBO 103-arc still has a mere 60-70 times higher surface brightness !

Ra.
