That what mine is like gaffer really low. But it has stayed that way. There was no rain the night it happened and I never had lanyard on. Just slipped it in my pocket and back out 5 mins later. Did have it out a couple of days earlier in non stop rain, but never lost the power or anything. Myabe water may have seeped in I don't know. How long did it stay low for and how did it work as normal again mate?

Old thread I know ,but has anyone had any experience with aspherical lenses?

got a cunning plan lol

 

I've still got a Tiablo A9 with the Aspherical kit...works perfect still after a good few years of abuse. I also have a 72mm Aspherical lens...but still not found anything to put it into..I also like the old 52mm Mag aspherical kits..they would make for an interesting set up on the end of some of the more modern LEDS.

camera lighting filters or stage lighting filters can help to make the Leds colour temp change from blue/white to the same as a halogen glow..I used a pale straw/yellow filter. . . now the bunnies eyes are Red again.

 

Still not found anything to beat the 170 Striker yet.

Yes that's right lea. You can look at the light with the naked eye. Usually I would be blinded by it. Did you describe over email/phone about your fault ?

Alrite foxdigger mate. Have you got an email address for Elaine please ?

 

After Gaffer said his got wet and his light went dull., Took batteries out and aired it out for a couple of days. Just put it back togather and still the same. So I think contacting Elaine would be the best option now.
