Re: Sunbolt

Re: Sunbolt

Due to some intake of alcohol :whistle: beamshots where not on the schedule for last nights activites..
Althought the common opinion on the Sunbolt was "Not impressive".

So this is the best pic so far :shakehead

The major problem with this spotlight is that they only sent the 230V cable. It would have been much easier to try it out in the fields if a 12V cable would have been in the package.. So now I need a very long cable from my house if I want to take some decent beamshots :ohgeez:

Re: Sunbolt

Thank you for the attempt at the beamshot!

Sorry to hear you are not impressed with it.

Hopefully you got a good deal on it.

Maybe when you get the correct power cable, you could post new beamshots.

Thanks again!!!

Nice Lights BTW!
Is the BEAST yours?

This thing looks like something designed to sink an aircraft carrier.

Re: Sunbolt

Nice pictures Team Member, and what a beautiful light the SunBolt is. How does it throw compared to the PH50?

Re: Sunbolt

Sorry that it didn't turn out to be quite what you were expecting. Hopefully the other cable will make it more convenient but I'm skeptical the output will change.

Thanks for trying to get some beamshots too. I'll look forward to seeing it compared with you nice array of HIDs.

Re: Sunbolt

@Dafab
It´s not mine. I just borrowed it to try it and see why the h*ll they wanted 7000$ for it...

How does it throw compared to the PH50?

It´s not even possible to compare the PH50 with the Sunbolt because it doesn´t throw at all. If you want to flood an area within 80 meter this is the light for you...if you have the money. But you could also buy 4 PH50 with diffusers instead..

Even the Hellfighter is cheap when compared to this one..

I think that the light itself is submersible but I would like to see the rest of the stuff being diveable also. For an example, the connectors must have been bought at Cheapy.. I was a bit concerned when I took the light and PSU with me outside the house. If it had started to rain, then I would have taken all the stuff inside again..

...definently not impressed...

Re: Sunbolt

Thank you for the update Team Member!!

Thats really too bad it seems so crappy.

For that kind of loot I'd buy 4 different HID lights....Polarion, Hellfighter, Beast, and a Maxa-Beam..:party:

Thanks again for sharing, hopefully it will help clear up any expectations of anyone that was one the fence about spending that kind of money.

So It sounds like it might be good to light up a field for a game of midnight football or socker!:nana:

Re: Sunbolt

I have felt :ohgeez: all week long for not being able to come up with beamshots of the Sunbolt.
So these evening I thought :wtf:
Went out in my garage and found a spotlightstand and a 50m long cable.

Took the cable and went outside to take some beamshots.

Controlpic.

Sunbolt on low

Sunbolt on medium

Sunbolt on high

Surefire M6 with WA1185 and FM 3*17650

PH50 with diffuser

PH50 without diffuser

Distance to soccergoal is 153 meter.

And then I took some pics of the goal..
First PH50 without diffuser.

And then the Sunbolt on high

Is it ok if I rest now.....?

Re: Sunbolt

Great Pics !!!

 

[DaFABRICATA]

Re: Sunbolt

Thank you for taking time to do those pics!

Great shots!

I want a PH50!

I had a chance to use a PH40 during the pass-around and it absolutey kicks ***!!

 

[IMSabbel]

As expected, its very floody.

But the total light output is insane. Its just not that visible because of the sodium light in the foreground.

 

[BlueBeam22]

Awesome beamshots Team Member! I can tell the Sunbolt is a floodlight rather than a spotlight, but it sure does appear to be putting out an incredible amount more overall light than the PH50.

 

[Bushman5]

does'nt seem very bright at all? esp for $7300USD (about 10,000 CDN) for that kind of money i want to reach out and touch someone with light from 5+ miles away.

 

[toby_pra]

Crazy how the PH50 thorws out the Sunbolt, but its too floody...

Perhaps some beamshots on a darf field would be better.

But many thanks for sharing!:D

 

[rayman]

That's a really great LED-spotlight :D.

Well on the outside the light is indeed a very impressive looking package. It looks like a hulking brute that should melt paint from vehicles at 100 yards. Thank you for taking the time to provide the pics however from my screen it really does not look as impressive as I imagined.

Maybe it is my old computer screen or even the ambient lighting in the pics but again I really thought it would be washing out every other light source within the entire zip code. In person are you seeing the same results as shown in the photos? Are you satisfied with the performance when compared in real life? From what I can see here it seems as if the spill is indeed incredible to a distance of maybe 15 feet however it kind of falls flat after that.

$7300USD !!! for that i could get a silenced genatator (6 kva $2600)and a couple of 400 high presure sodioum lights(about $400 in uk ) that would oblitorate the sunbolt and have change. the output is pathetic and the price is sheare madness.

It could, put out a maximum of what 12,000 lumens? Well perhaps it’s not generating that. Maybe it’s not running the LEDs at their full potential. That’s the thing with LEDs though as much as everyone seems to thing they are the greatest thing on Earth in all aspects, they will never “well perhaps for a long time at least” be able to fight with incandescents, or HIDs in the super high power range. For $45 you could buy a 4557 bulb run both filaments and make 25,000+ lumens:faint:, to do the same with LEDs you would need 28, P7 or MCE LEDs for what $420:mecry:? Not to mention there will be no way to get them to throw like a PAR or HID:rolleyes:.
