Enlightened
Hi all!
Batman checking in after a day of provocative fireworks saber rattling around the world. From the Space Shuttle to the Taepondong-2 to the neighborhood kids with roman candle wars, all was good.
I should say that I used my A2 Aviators (2) extensively and made several observations over the course of the evening. As the location for our party was across the street from a dimly lit park in the heart of the ghetto, I made use of my incans many times on the kids having roman candle wars from great distances. (obviously just playful training for future real life engagements) From a good distance of 100 yeards with ambient streetlight I was able to reach out and touch the environment with my 79 lumens quite easily. - especailly houses.
I noticed the LEDs seemed useless in the fog/smoke as they light up the smoke rather than the fuse you want to light. I've managed to get one of my friends interested in buying an A2 after he used it to light up the entire driveway for simultaneous fuse lighting.
I actually found the A2 incan mode more useful than his walmart $10 1,000,000 candle power spotlight which is operated from the command center (bass boat) parked in the front yard.
The red filter for the A2 is ok but diminishes LED output dramatically - maybe useful if you don't want to be seen by anyone holding a gun. Incan mode with red filter was great however. Something about this light makes me feel like it would have been perfect in the movie, "The Predator."
I hope to hear other experiences with other flashlights and how they performed tonight as illumination tools for your family-fun pyrotechnical displays.
With light,
Batman
