Hi,

Medium Stipple vs. standard reflector in the Borealis....

Medium stipple
pros: Hardly any black spots on Flood,
cons:Not so focused beam as standard

Standard Reflector
pros: Better & neater focus,
cons:Big Black spot on flood :laughing:

I found in a ceiling bounce test with both reflectors that on flood its putting out less lumens out the front, & more on a good focus.


Got some beamshots.... All lights are aimed at the wheelbarrow.

I still prefer the Standard, but considering it takes like 30secs to change a reflector, its no probs.:twothumbs

Next step: Smooth Reflector (Best Throw)

New Pics of Borealis (Beamshots)

And now, my first attempt at beamshots :D

Edit: All Fenix LEDs are set at turbo mode (P2D,L2d-180 lumens ; TK11- 225 lumens)

From left to right, 4D Spotlight, Borealis, Unknown brand spotlight and energiser 4AA Incan

Impressive, your borealis will look quite dull to the POB:naughty:
Click to expand...

hehe the shiny black aluminium hull of borealis Versus the dull black paint of Vector POB :crackup:

btw flashanator, is that a tripod ur using to hold ur borealis? Im having trouble keeping my pics sharp cuz i only got 1 tripod (for my camera)
 
yes, I try to always use tripods for cam & flashlight. Somtimes I don't if I use a quick exposure time on my camera.


the pics close up, I didn't use a tripod. Just hold cam as still as possible.
 
Do u think its possible for juancho to make a borealis from a 6D maglite?
And make it even brighter? :devil:
 
MORE BOREALIS PICCCCCCCCCCS:D (Indoors)

Fenix TK11, Borealis, 4D Spotlight

Since my borealis is my most powerful light, i pit it against all my other lights including the 3 fenixes:twothumbs

3039225041_e0c6237e27_b.jpg


Although it seems that my Borealis has faltered, it has not-
Take a look at this underexposed pics; the flood from the fenix lights account for a 'fake' hotspot bigger than that of my Borealis

This gives a literal meaning to the word 'sun':cool:

Wow nice pics,

I thought I was leading this thread with best pics.

Looks like your in front now.;)

Just my 2 Favorite Mags. Both on Flood

I look forward to your HID photos with your POB.
 
hmm, I'm starting to question the "50min" runtime of the Borealis.

Ive never gotten that close when ever I charge my battery pack up full. I haven't run the light straight till the batteries are drained, but I run it in small 5min bursts & I reckon I'm getting around 20-30mins total.


Any other Borealis owners want to comment on their runtime with these NiMH powerex 2700 battery's?
 
Thanks flashanator Your pics are astounding ; its quite hard for me to get those outdoor beamshots

Hmm i have not measured my runtimes yet; will do it soon.
Btw do u wait for the overcharge on the batteries to wear off after 3-4 hours or do u use the bulb to get rid of the overdischarge?
