I cannot believe what I am going to tell you guys. A poor little (OK, not poor and not little) neighbors cat got hit by a car and decided he liked my lawn to make her final resting place. The women decided this cat must be burried that night (which was last night). It was almost completely dark...
My wife instructs me to get a shovel...I respond which one.....which then led to the "let me show you which one". I grab my Lowes Cree Task Force light and proceed to the shed. We pick the appropriate shovel and go, dead cat in hand, towards the neighbors.
I, of course, get chosen to dig. Now since it was dark, I had the youngest daughter carry the 3D M@g LED with paralleled MircroPucks to kind of show the way and then I just had to try out the new Power On Board HID from Sams I got a couple of weeks ago (thanks Mike!!). I had to give it to the wife to illuminate the hole which was overkill...it was amazing how much light that thing puts out and yes I know there are much better HID's out there, but what an introduction to HID's!! The wife actually said "Wow, this thing really lights up the place. That's really a nice light".
Success gentlemen!!
Oh, before all the tornado sirens went off an hour or so later, I did shine it up to the sky. Got that very, very satisfying feeling of seeing the beam shine up maybe 500 to 800 feet to the clouds. Looked like the spotlights you see at the car dealerships every once in awhile.
I am now officially hooked on HID!!
Thanks guys for the motivation. Now I have more lights to play with......
