| Barry,
Don't you think a better comparison would of been to have the camera fixed on a tripod, with the focus set manually, then turn one light on & photo it, turn off, then turn another on & so on.
The conditions would then be identical & it would be just the lights you were comparing.
B.S. claims (by whoever) are just misleading and only the only person they fool in the end is the one making the false claim.
There IS a huge difference between HID & LED, but the biggest seems to be whether you want either a spot light on a very tight area (for signaling etc) or a good wide usable beam, i for one would be really interested in seeing photo's of HID's in a wide beam to see a true comparison, as i would hazard a guess that this is where Solus are making there claims?? (it would be foolish otherwise as an LED cant as yet be focused tightly to give a small but bright spot)
So HID's are great at a very bright narrow beam, ideal if you need it for signaling and LED's are great at a 'normal use' wide spread light, with bulbs that are almost indestructible.
The biggest single factor when i bought my light was that it must be as indestructible as possible, which left only an LED light.  |
