The Southwest US blackout was a prolific night to test lights.
With the house and neighborhood so dark, even the dim lights (Safe-Lights) I leave on all the time turned bright.
People walking past our house, with a throw of 120 feet to the street, were lit up like they were on stage in Vegas. Frozen in a confused daze by the blinding cool white of several different Malkoff's.
Even my Red SF L1 threw well over 100 feet.
Power came back on before the real big lights came out, but it was fun, except it was 113 when the power went off.
I know some of you live in remote areas, and can test like this every night, however, I live in the developed area of the desert, and we now have a city night sky. I will never go out in the open desert at night, and I will never go camping, so this was the next best thing.
This is my report. It would be nice to hear what others did tonight.
Hope everyone is doing well with no A/C
