Time To Start

All ready it's the 3rd day in 2008 -- do you say twenty-oh-eight or two-thousand-eight? -- and I've yet to post. Fear not! We are here diligently working on new posts, new product reviews and that seemingly never ending light review.

In an effort to speed up this process, we are going to start posting the review piecemeal. This should begin in the next couple of days with the introduction and single LED lights, like the Stella by Light and Motion.

I've posted images of the Stella 180-L before, but I'd like to use it as an example, if I may. This is what each light will have, in addition to the write up. This is what is taking so long.

First, the beam shot:

As I stated in my Teaser Beam Shots post, the flags start at 20ft from the lights. They are placed at 20ft intervals, with three flags at 100ft. All of the lights were aimed at 100ft.

Now, the run time graph:

As you can see, the Stella -- with the Li-Ion battery -- runs a long, long time.

The image of the light on the target:

The graphs below were made by analyzing this image.

The 3D graph:

Finally, a line plot of the beam.

The line plot has four parts. The red, green and blue lines are the red, green and blue spectrum. The black line is the average value for all three. The blue line would have gone higher, but it overpowered the sensor of my camera. The Stella had the most blue tint of any of the lights.

As soon as anything is up at GearReview, I'll link to it here, naturally.
