This one is only 400 lumines, but seems amazingly bright to me.

I have to take a load of Xmas decorations to the loft later, so will test it out

The 1500lm bike light I got recently is insane.

Literally lights up a whole back yard.

Storage boxes are outrageously expensive. Who would have thought peak adulting would be whacking £120 on boxes... Luckily some are "broken enough to complain but still function", and hopefully they'll send some more and I keep the broken ones. Fruitcake bag for our resident alt-righters

I've had torches that appear brighter from just a few hundred lumens vs one with thousands purely because the reflector and lens used is just better designed - Reflector/glass styles really makes a massive difference!

Having said that, 2000 lumens ain't half bad in a projector type lens

Impressive

Been up in the loft and given it a runout now and for only 400 lumines it is crazy bright. Must be down to the quality of the lens. Great bit of kit

I think the lumens is a bit nonsense.
Sometimes you see 10 billion lumens. 10 quid. There's obviously no certification.

I'm glad I didn't get the 83 inch G2 as this was a tight squeeze lol. Nearly held out for the LG 77G3 but life's to short. Absolutely amazing picture with no issues whatsoever it's beautiful! I put a disc in from my 4k UHD Game of Thrones boxset to play with the Dolby Vision settings and I couldn't stop grinning.

It is nonsense if you buy from a hooky brand claiming silly numbers for pittance.

He was naughty last year, I heard.

Bought a used camera at 1/3rd of original price. A7R3, only 13k shutter count but wear round the edges, everything works and still boxed. The charger has not even left the box, still brand new, same with the strap. Clearly owned by a photographer with multiple Sony bodies.

Put on a Smallrig base, screen protector and put in my settings. Oh yeah!

andy_mk3 · 7 Jan 2023 at 16:56

A long overdue storage upgrade.

I must be honest, you are an excellent photographer. Your photos always have a little "extra" if that makes sense, adds a certain something to whatever you're taking photos of. You should do a course, make a few extra quid.
