Flashlight Enthusiast
Yesterday my son (4 years old on January 13th! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif) and I went to the barber shop for haircuts. Believe it or not, my barber is one person who actually asked me to bring some of these flashlights I keep talking about with me to show him. So I did! Brought MR-X to the barber shop in my daypack. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
But how to demonstrate the merits of the marvelous MR-X? After all, it was broad daylight, and past experience told me that the virtues of great lights are hard to grasp when it's not dark. But I came up with a plan! I loaded up a standard Mag 2D with stock bulb as a "control" for the demonstration, on the premise that most normal folks are familiar at least with a standard 2D flashlight, and many have seen or used a 2D Maglite. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
The rest was simple! I did a simple A/B test, switching between Mag 2D and MR-X, pointing both at the ceiling, then the far wall, then the dark corner next to the chair, and so forth. Tiny yellow spot vs. massive white spot. He seemed to get the idea! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just wanted to share this success story. Anyone else have techniques that work as far as sharing a little piece of our fascination with the uninitiated?
