have you ever wondered about the total light output of your flashlights ?

Impressive, but I would like to see a before picture to get a sense of how much ambient light was in the room. Even if that was a closed bathroom with no windows, some light can bleed in under the door.

I have a 1 MCP and 10 MCP spot lights. Either of those would practically burn a hole in the ceiling. :candle:

Ahh, Ok. I just see light coming in under the blinds, so I assume there was light the human eye could perceive in the dark.

Nice place, too!

What is the flat thing in front of the plant?

I can't speak for him, but it appears to be one of those tap lights. I have one a friend gave me last Christmas. Uses 3 AAA's and is actually rather bright.

Oh hey, we need membership pins! Then we can spot each other on the street. :laughing: Might be a nice fund raiser.

Looks like some kind of modern art exibit! :)
It does to me too.

I like the furniture.

Dig the windows. The blinds look like they are on the outside, the windows swing in for easy cleaning and they all appear to have skylights.

Nice place.

I'm sorry :( I flogged myself with the Mag85 10 times as punishment.

Well, I did find batteries for all my lights. However, they weren't the most fresh in the world... and I think my Mag85 needs a bit of a charge. But, I think I have plenty of light to hold me over for now :p

I matched vtt's specs for the pic down to the camera used :)

Lighting up my (not as classy) room is the following, in no particular order:

Mag85
MiniMiniHID (or 6 inch wonder)
L4
EL XM-2
Streamlight TwinTask 3C
Streamlight Stinger XTHP
Pelican M6
EDC U60GT
Orb RAW (original U-bin)
VB-16 (on primaries so not quite max output there)
Q3 on CR123a and Q3 on R123a
Fenix L0P
POS China MXDL 3W
2AAA MityLite
Xnova 5x5mm
Arc-AAA standard (the old one)
CMG Ultra
and 8 or so button cell lights for good measure
