Very interesting points and observations Patriot.
Let me make it clear that I have no doubt the Polarion is putting out far more lumens than the LB. I'm sorry if I gave that impression with the vague word 'brighter' in my first post; that was a bad choice. I just meant that, in the given...

I guess we'll just have to wait for the new pictures.
Either way, they're obviously both amazing lights :)

Crosman discussed building a 1000watt version of the Sleeper with a Sylvania 5557 bulb I...

HID rulz! :D
