welcome back ez :bow:
Have you thought about getting a ~4200K sealed lamp for your monster?

Thanks, I was lurking around, waiting for the right moment for my come back.:p
And yes I have. If I happened to find suitable ~4200K lamp I would order one. But they still seem to be tricky to find and order from china. As bright as the 400W hid is it definetly loses some punch with the 6000K bulb. I think they didn't have any options for color temp when I orded the lamp, only the 6000K. Well it's fun to still have some room for improvements in future designs, color temp is one, and of cource more power and lumens never hurt anyone. :)

My 400W metal halide sealed beam is from this company:

Edit: Oh and buying something from there can be slow as it requires lots of communication by emails.
They seem to have 4000K versions now, if those specs can be trusted. Would be nice...

Yes, maybe I should take the car to service. Something odd might be going on with the high beams. :duh2:
Patriot36: I used a healthy exposure time of 8 secs to really capture the eyecandy. The weather was crispy and air was clear, no fog to be seen.
During my photo session two cars came from where the beam is aimed and I had to point it to the woods and let them by. I wonder what they were thinking I was doing. :)

lol, I like to think I have a % of your 400w's output with my Thor 1000w.
your get more lumens & runtime, I get instant daytime....:laughing:

Flash: Yeah, the halogen sun rises so much more rapidly, a definite plus for it. With my 400W it takes almost 1 minute to full noon, but then you better wear some sun lotion and shades. I still like the basic larryk14 with the Q4559X a lot, good compromise for output and runtime and instant on. Different kind of beasts.

ez, Only 1 minute warm up time sounds great when you consider its colossal ouput :eek:
LIGHTSMAD, in terms of throw my thor1000w out throws all incan 130w, all HID 35w throwers no probs. eats them up & spits them out.
My VT120 HID out throws it tho, but the 1000w has a huge wide beam & covers many times the space.
I Don't have any long range beamshots... heres what I do have.
~200metre beamshots
generic comparisons
In this thread u get a sense of its lumen output
BTW LIGHTSMAD, is that 75w HID Barn Burner in your sig?:drool:

yes.
i only bought it a short while ago from a CPF'er, it really is a super light, i will send some beam shots before i sell it.
its a shame to let it go, but im looking into buying a house at the moment and i need the funds badly....its in the CPFMP for sale at the moment.
if i ever have that sort of money again, i will be sure to buy another, if that is possible, i seen on a thread not to long ago that there is only about 30 of these spread aroung CPF members!

Here is final closure for everyone on how the Amondotech N30 compares to the Power On Board HID. IMHO the N30 is quite a bit brighter and has a much more usable beam.:D
Both lights are aimed at the base of the target tree which is a little over 50 yards away.
Sam's Club Vector Power On Board HID 22mcp:
AmondoTech N30 compact HID Searchlight:
ADDED: Thor 15mcp 130W Halogen:
Another update. Professional's Favorite 17.5mcp 120W Halogen. I refocused its bulb again, and now, unlike before, it has more throw than the Thor 15mcp.
AmondoTech Titanium Mega Illuminator (Improved Costco/Harbor Freight HID). The Ti Mega has the brightest hotspot, brightest corona, and most light output out of all these lights. It truly blows all the others away in terms of beam intensity and brightness IMO.

Now I finally understand how bright that thing is...
Since I´ve have done a few pics like that one, I know how close I can stand and NOT see the beam from my PH50..
...amazing ez78, amazing..:bow:
LOL!! Outstanding. I really like how much scale there is in this photo.
Great Job!
Nice Beamshots from Blue22 also. I can't remember you posting beamies before. :)
