I have recently acquired what is arguably the most powerful portable spotlight one can find online (in US, at least).
Made by Cyclops, Thor Colossus deserves its name, delivering 18 million candle light power in its high beam mode.
It also has the low beam mode designed to save the power and provide more conventional all around light without drying the battery fast.
Since my first reaction when I received it was a pure shock from its size, I decided to put this gallery up to show how this monster looks and works in the real life
This is how it looks next to a familiar household item:
Now you'd think this beast weighs a ton. It does not, but the carrying strap (included) is a nice and useful accessory:
Its military green brought me some militaristic mood, so I've asked my usual model to pose with some sort of weapon
(for the purists: it's an airsoft version of AK-47:-):
The image above shows Colossus in its low beam mode and not pointed directly at the camera - I was really afraid to damage the censor.
And even then, I was at least a few feet away from it and still could feel the heat coming from this monster.
Next it was the time to do some night shooting.
Here is of of the series of shots from the surrounding hills, taken about 6:30 pm.
View towards Ventura (West):
