10w 18w 21w HID smack down

[Uncle Pug]

Dryglove has just recently picked up his 18w so it probably already has the extended shroud.

i have a salvo 21 watt hid and it does have a longer shroud but it still doesnt help much with the backscatter, my instructor got mad at me because the backscatter was blinding him ( he was diving his scout light.. ONLY) it would be nice to get that sucker into a really tight beam, i did notice that the beam on my 10 watt was tighter.

I just put my order in for the Uncle Pug flame thrower special with Howard..... can't wait to take it for a test run!

Let us know when it arrives. I'd love to take a look at it

Howard was telling me it will be sometime in March probably, hopefully sooner.

Somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1200. And not the Canadian Tire money we use here ... we're takin' greenbacks.

Did you specifically ask for the Uncle Pug Flame Thrower?

I would be concerned about the 21w HID burning the aluminum skin off of the airframe.

It's ok to point a single 21w HID at an overhead passing aircraft as long as you're down at least 50' or deeper. If there's two of you down there with the 21's though, the plane may still circle back and try to land on you since you'll be brighter than all of Fort Lauderdale or Seattle which are currently the only cities in the continental US that the Homeland Security Administration allows the proximal use of mutiple heavy-wattage HID's (41 CFR §301.6211-1).
That applies only to fixed-wing aircraft - helicopters are still prone to skin melts so should never be aimed at unless they signal overt hostile activity.
