With all the talk about the Lux IIIs lately, I though I'd take a minute to share this. In the photo are two Arc LSs @ 667mA with the Fraen LP optics. The one on the left is a 1watt Q3J, the one on the right is a Luxeon III TWAK.
I was kinda suprised about how similar (nearly identical) they were. I was also quite pleased, since I have some more of these Q3Js on hand. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Knowing there's more important things to do with a light than shine it at the wall, I took them both outside and took a little walk, lighting up various things as I went. Here too, I could detect virtually no difference between the two. Sometimes I thought the TWAK might be a little brighter, but I'm not convinced that it just wasn't my brain telling me that it should be. At any rate, I have some new found love for my trusty Q3Js. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Just an interesting (to me anyway) observation that I thought I'd share. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
