Perfect for those midnight search-and-retrieve black-ops in the kitchen. :devil:

(yeah, I got some new accessories today. )

Thanks for the laugh. Looking stylish....I mean tacticool with those colored filters.

The LS20's reflector looks so cool with a filter over it.

BTW, what's that knife?

 

[fyrstormer]

It does look cool, doesn't it? Kinda ominous. I actually put it on there because I wanted to see how well the filter could handle the bluish light from the LS20, and aside from being amazed at how well the filter worked, I also thought it looked quite photo-worthy.

The knife is some cheap Far-East-made dagger made by Boker under their bargain brand-name Magnum. Despite its low cost, it's well-ground and surprisingly well-balanced, with the balance point slightly forward of the centers of the handle scales. They don't seem to have that one for sale anymore, but they do have the larger version: http://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/magnum/tactical-knife/02MAG13.html

The Boker Swiss Dagger Damast is to-die-for, but at $2500 I just can't touch it. This Magnum should take care of all my (entirely hypothetical) stabbing needs quite nicely.

Nice! I have thought about replacing the 5mm LEDs in my LS20 with red ones for night photography. I wonder what the beam would look like when the the main light is on too?

 

[fyrstormer]

Probably slightly purplish, but the high-mode beam would largely override the red LEDs past a few feet.
