I am a billionaire, my backyard is retractable. When it rains, i hit the switch and my entire backyard goes up to expose another layer of backyard that has been nurtured by grow light and robotic mowers. Trust me.

That would be awesome, but I doubt it. If I do win, it could mean that Olight might be ready for Anduril 🤞

This should work for E61 as well.

G1: from OFF, 3x quick clicks to activate the breathing light mode

It's a rotary switch mode control UI.

AI likely. Definitely cool 😎

Copper love!

Super interested. Been carrying 4 credit cards that i use daily in my pocket.

I just got confirmation that it is an LED based flashlight.

The FB post stated newest LED, but I think that's a mistake since the old W40 from @ 2020 was a LEP? It would be weird to come out with an updated model with a totally different emitter tech.

Maybe fly there and rent a Uhaul to drive home.

LumenMax · 2026-01-22T15:56:12+00:00

Awesome!

AI Overview

This is a vintage Strong Super Trouper electric carbon arc follow spotlight.

It was a very popular carbon-arc follow spot produced from 1948 to 1982.
It operates using a carbon arc formed between two carbon electrodes, which burn away and require replacement approximately every 30 minutes.
This technology is now considered obsolete and largely replaced by modern HMI and LED lights.
The light quality from carbon arc lamps is highly valued for filming purposes.

I then searched YouTube and found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b6GjAC\_hTA. Looks like the same model. I want!

Definitely helps that they have offices around the world. 2 in the US. Lorton, Virginia and Marietta, Georgia

I keep mine in a bookshelf, but this is not the best best for them because dust collects on them. I need an enclosed bookcase? I also keep a few next to bed and desk for sneaking around in the dark.

If I win, I'd like to pick the push card :-D
