I was at my brother's house last night, showing off my M60 equipped SF 6P. I was shining it around and when I aimed it at one of the white walls, my nephew suddenly gasped and said, "Look at that! There is a face on the wall! I looked at it and realized he was right...I could clearly see a partial "face" in the hotspot!

I've had the M60 for quite some time at this point, and had never noticed this artifact before. To me it kind of looks like a mask that a luchador (Mexican wrestler) would wear, or maybe a superhero's mask...my brother thinks it looks like a skull with the jawbone missing.

What do you think?



You may have to stand back a few feet from the screen to get the full effect.

It looks more pronounced in real life and the "eyes" and "Nose" (or where they should be) are actually blue in color...I set the camera to BW to make it easier to see on the computer. I'm not very well versed as far as photography goes, so I had a hard time getting the settings on the camera right for it to show up on the PC screen.

Edit: Hey, I just noticed that I've hit 500 posts!!! :twothumbs

Man, that's freaky :eek:oo:. Too bad it isn't more pronounced, you could use it like some kind of bat signal or something.

Re: Something Interesting in my M60 Hotspot...

i see dark areas but no "face" your brain is just trying to relate that blob to something you already know

Dunno about a face, I think it looks like a mushroom cloud.

Bow before Zod,no really its probably the Khatod optic.As you look down on the head you'll be able to see its projection pattern(without turning it on!!) and then shine it on the wall and see it's markings conveyed more clearly.Just my opinion on mine.

Maybe the LED's dome is a bit off or the LED's alignment with the optic is a bit off.

Interesting artifact.
