Dim-witted bulb?
Recently, I acquired a Halcyon Mini-Scout. Problem is, it's bulb seems a lot dimmer than I would have expected for such a light from a "rigorous mission critical" manufacturer. In fact, I'd say it's probably half as bright as any of my UK mini Q40's with about the same battery life. Is there a particular reason for this, or do I simply have a bad bulb in this Mini-Scout? Are there replacement bulbs readily available for this light, if so, where do I get them? Please don't plug the Halcyon LED replacement as that is not the answer I'm looking for.
The manufacturer states: Quote:\"Nearly all widely available reserve lights overdrive the bulb to create a brighter beam. While overdriving the bulb is effective for short term use, it increases the stress on the filament, resulting in a greater frequency of bulb failure.\"However, I've had two mini-Q40's for about three years, and the bulb has never burned out, even after roughly 10-12 battery swaps. [overclock]Any ideas on how to step up the power to the bulb?[/overclock] Thanks all... |
