So this morning when I woke up I grabbed my A2 as usual to take my dog out. When I opened the door I thought someone had put a gray sheet over my house. Turns out we were under a "dense fog advisory."
Can you say Beamshape comparisons!
If any neighbors were awake and there was any doubt before they now undoubtedly think I'm insane. I came back outside with my 2 different led Maglites, a couple A2's, L2, p2d, and an Eternalight.
I'm also wondering what any passing airplanes might have thought...
In any event, my point of this post is if you get the opportunity to do this, take it. We all know that light A is more floody, or B is more throwy, but to actually see the beam shapes in realtime with side-by-side comparisons is a lot of fun (and somewhat educational if you have youngling around). It's also valuable for understanding how color temps deal with semi-solid air. The incandescent A2's would have been much more useful if I actually had to use a light in that particular environment. The LED spill from the A2 was even noticeable with the main beam on. I had a few auras around the head of my A2's. I'm pretty sure they're not of divine origin though.
I don't really do much white wall hunting, I tend to use my lights for day to day tasks but this was nifty to actually demonstrate why a particular light would be good for a particular task.
I need to get my camera charged up in case this happens again, might make for some interesting pictures.
