You seemed to think it was ok for you to invite your own armchair criticism with other posts such as fitting 33 inch tyre size and cv issues etc- so how is this any different??. Did you not read where I said it was a good write up and comparison??? probably wouldn't be single digit temperatures if you weren't so high up on your horse.

We went down there in single digit temperatures on a Saturday night to get some comparisons and satisfy our own curiosity about these new lights and make some sort of comparison versus the lights on our own vehicles. Came back and shared some photos and my thoughts for those who might be interested.
None of us are professional photographers, nor are we lighting engineers. I accept that our testing methods may have been better and I've already said that we intend to back up again in a few weeks time with some ideas to improve the results, including taking measurements of the lighting levels at various points and using a single position to test from, comparing standard and alternative options for headlights. plus some other things that might improve the photos. Even invite some retailers who may wish to show their wares.
The idea of this thread was to share and foster some discussion on the Fyrlyt lights, which may be of interest to others. It wasn't to invite armchair criticism of the photos or our testing methods. If you think you can do better, be my guest. Or you can join us and we can include your lights in the comparison. The more the merrier, as they say.

I merely stated that IMHO, it looked like the HID's lit up the verge better (I didn't know lights were tested from different sides). Once i found out lights were on different sides, I stated that it changes the outcome of the test- for example, if all lights were on only the left, the newer lights may have blown the others i.e HID out of the water. I was simply making a statement. I then made a recommendation based on a theory, that it would be great to have seen an even comparrison. I wasn't having a go at him for not doing this and I do not expect him to go and do this. As i stated, he has done an awesome job (better than I could have done). If he chose to take offence to it then so be it- cry me a river. But you can't allow one person to post and not allow it to be discussed, regardless of someone's background or whether or not they post crap or not. discussion is discussion. Simple as that.
