Bright Lights and spoilage!

I think that Wilkey mentioned in the Aurora thread that when he had to go back to the LOLA after running the HOLA for a while that he felt disappointed even though it was still around 3000 Lumens.

Now I know how he felt!

After running the 10000 Lumen Coleman light, everything else seems dull!

Even the once omnipotent Mag85 seems like little more than a candle!

The Mule is really bright, but the Coleman is scary!

Oh well, I'll put it away and play with regular mags for awhile and then see what happens! NOT!!

Bill,

That's actually what you have to do: restrict yourself to a dimmer light for a time. For a while the brightest light I had assembled and ready to hand was my E2e w. MN03. Then the other day I was focusing some WA1185 ring-potted lamps into 1940 reflectors for a Tiger85 order, and I was like "Woah! Damn that's bright!" You can reset yourself to a lower circle of light addiction, but the withdrawal symptoms are a killer. Depression, lethargy, apathy, loss of brain cells. All the usual things.

So true, I just want to turn on that 10,000 Lumen light for a minute, just to light up the world for a few seconds!!
