I will give you a shout next time I am in NY so that you can check it out.

Nobody likes shouting. But to see your top of the line light, I will make an exception.
When the time comes, I will show you my crappy 100Tw Twisty and 140C Clicky lights. I hope that you will not be embarrassed, now that you have reached the top? Use it in good health........

Jeff if you stop in Virginia I can save you the long drive and the swim. :naughty:

I thank you for your hospitality, but Reima's cousin is about 30 minute drive from me in Long Island. No swimming required! The question is when will he be visiting her?

I thank you for your UK hospitality, but seeing your 170Cn would be an ALL SWIMMING proposition. I will wait until Reima visits my territory. I hope that the wait won't be too long!
"Springtime in Edinburgh" has a nice ring to it!

Say all, this is my first golden dragon light and here is what I've noticed.
I'm a big fan of the SSC and have one in my old HDS B42 and in several other lights. I like wide smooth beams. I was concerned the GD beam would be to narrow but since it has such an excellent smooth transition from spot to spill this is not a problem in real application. I would highly recommend the GD except for:
1) The 170cn beam is very white in the hotspot and the spill but gradually becomes quite blue by the outer periphery of the spill. This doesn't seem to be a problem outside but its very noticeable indoors. Is this common?
2) The GD in both my Ra has a more noticeable tint shift across the levels than a SSC. The WW becomes a bit sickly at the low levels and the 170cn becomes warmer, but still has the blue outer spill.
Note my SSC emitters are all top bin stuff from PhotonFanatic.

Does anybody have any actual questions about the lights? I have decided not to do white wall beamshots or photos since they have all been done before a lot better than me.
If I were to do an outside shot is there any recommendations for EV, ISO, exposure, F-stop and white balance?

We can always use more beamshots and photos. For suggestions, I'd say shoot outdoor and indoor, ISO <100, 4 seconds at F3.2 for outdoor and 2.5 seconds at F6.3 indoor, with white balance set to "day light" or equivalent.
Here are some that PSM took.

I might use the advice and give some outdoors shots a try. Always nice to help out the community! :twothumbs

Excellent!..
Also, take those settings with a grain of salt, since distance to object, object material, and ambient light can have an impact on under/over exposure of the central spot and extended spill. Basically, set your camera to full manual mode and experiment a bit. :tinfoil:
