Onnea vaan! Teit oikean päätöksen. Missä päin suomea asut?
Laitoin sinulle yv:tä, mutta et ilmeisesti huomannut?

Good luck! You made the right decision. Where in the Finnish do you live?
I put to you pm, but you appear to have noticed?

Keski-Suomessa asun. Tuo private message loota näyttää 0 viestiä, nyt tarkistin vielä niin ei ole sinne asti viestisi päässyt ilmeisesti :/

One question for you people about polarion ph50. Does cold temperature have any side effects when using light. I am talking now temperatures around -20C or -30C.

I'm guessing the batteries would require some special care but Vee73 would know for sure..

Hmmmm, I was thinking that the temps would be great for cooling purposes! This could be an excellent temperture environment for the Abyss!

I probably did a mistake to send a privat message.

Patriot is right, I have experience at low temperatures.
Polarion is exactly the same way, despite the temperature. Operating time is not shorter than with cold. What is surprising. Although I always use the battery from beginning to end. Polarion even though it was cold for a long time, it lights up just as quickly as it should be warm. Unlike the Microfire 35W. -5 Degrees ignition takes about 2 minutes.
That is one reason why I sold all the Micro Fire away.

Manre Boo. It would be nice to chat with you in person. You can find my email on this link:

A quality ballast will function reliably down to at least -40C, -40C and -40F are the same temp. The 2 scales match at that temp.

Finally got my PH50 today! For a start i have polarion PH50, 1 extra battery and 4 filters now

Polarion is my second HID, i got Microfire K3500 before. Now we have 2 Polarion PH50 in Finland and next Manre Boo have the third one? Cant wait the dark...
How i can attach pictures?

No niin, sain vihdoin valaisimen kotia. Toimitus kesti pankin sähläyksen takia pari viikkoa

Saatiin sitten tänne pohjolaankin lisää valoa! Ruotsin pojilla on varastossa vielä 6 tai 7 kpl PH 50:siä, eli vielä löytyy tarvitseville.

Manre Boo · #39 09-28-2009, 08:52 AM

I am still waiting mine. Hopefully arrives tomorrow or at least this week.
I allready paid it with VISA, so I hope its not lost on its way

Patriot · #40 09-28-2009, 10:47 AM

Congratulations Attitude. Yourself, Manre Boo and Vee73 are going to have your only little Polarion club soon.

To post pictures, you will have to use a hosting website like Photobucket

vee73 · #41 09-29-2009, 04:45 AM

In Finland, there are many Polarion lamp holders. But to my knowledge, only three models of 50W.

Manre Boo · #42 09-30-2009, 06:24 AM

My PH50 just arrived

Ordered from knivesandtools dot com from netherlands costing 1379€ and free shipping.
They still have two pieces in stock i believe, if someone wants to order one.

Gonna go try it out tonight for sure.

Patriot · #43 09-30-2009, 08:34 AM

Congratulations! I'll look forward to hearing about your thoughts when you switch that thing on. Post some pictures when you can.

Manre Boo · #44 09-30-2009, 10:43 AM

OMG
I have seen all videos and pictures of PH50 in use, but nothing really prepared me how powerfull it is in real life. Now I believe comments that say "pictures don't do it justice".

I cannot use it inside city limits at all, because it lights up full apartment buildings very very far away. I am afraid if I keep using it someone will call cops and I will get fined.

Tested it at shore of a nearby lake and it easily throws to the other coast and lights up very large area including all houses there.

I have to say think carefully before buy flash light of this caliber. You might not be able to actually use it for job you want, because it blinds other people and engulf their houses hundreds of meters away. So you might accidentally cause some unwanted harm just by swinging light carelessly around.

vee73 · #45 09-30-2009, 11:30 AM

All who have seen the pictures of Polarion. Are, however, really surprised how much light to Polarion.
And some people still suspect that the pictures have been edited.

Images do not confer the right to Polarion lamps. It is the truth.

Manre Boo, I wish I saw your face at that moment when you first start you put the PH50.

Manre Boo,

I loved your comments and initial thoughts on this light. It makes me want one even more now. I realize you can't use it for rewiring your entertainment center unless you wear welding goggles

, but it sure is nice to have the "sun in your hand", isn't it?

amaretto · #47 10-06-2009, 10:26 PM

yesterday i couldn't resist and ordered my ph50 at edenwebshops.de
i'm thinking of a diffuser too...

had the choice between an used motorbike and ph50. "sun" wins.

Patriot · #48 10-06-2009, 11:57 PM

Congrats! I hope that you receive it soon.

Kestrel · #49 10-08-2009, 02:40 PM

Manre Boo, I just gotta send a

Markuskj · #50 10-20-2009, 11:27 AM

Hi, folks!
Now there is light in the dark east-Helsinki too. Got my brand new PH 50 a week ago..

is it the 5. one in Finland? Would be awesome to arrange a get together some dark night Polarion people?

I was introduced to elämysvalottelu when reading Vesa´s pages over a year ago. After that - I already got Maglite 3D..

- my first real light was Fenix TK11. My other lights: MTE M3-2, Solarforce L1200 and Microfire Warrior III.

Patriot · #51 10-20-2009, 04:14 PM

Wow, the Polarion club is really growing over there!

I believe CPF member Vee73 has extensive images in the Polarion U2 Abyss thread. I'll have to look for them later if you don't find them there.

Yes, stand is self-made. It is precisely for this purpose.

DM51 · #58 11-07-2009, 03:55 AM

Great photos! That diffuser filter looks very useful.

Lol! How does it feel outshining most cars except the ones with dual 35 watt HID systems?
