Well remember I mentioned I was looking at purchasing one of these, well I did and it arrived today :righton:
Well where should I start, how about some back ground info on the unit. Well for those that may not know much about this light these are just some spec on the machine my bro Al know's all about it I'm sure
Had to charge the gun but here it is (this is the Sun Gun in action)
Here is the Brinkman in action
Here are both of them
Different angle
Here they are side by side
That's quite the difference huh
Well you guys know me and the pictures hahahahaha.
I'll be posting some pictures of the Sun Gun in action when I post the Volvo. Oh by the way I'm just sharing with you guys in no way am I promoting this Sun Gun or anything like that, hope you guys don't mind and if you do please say so.

- The gun features an automatic shut off in order to prevent leaving it on while unattended. This feature will also help maximize battery and bulb life. By design it will turn off after approximately 50 seconds. The length of time was decided by research and data collected from voice of customer, concept and filed testing.
- The true purpose of the gun is for color matching regardless of where the vehicle is located, the time of day, current weather or lighting conditions, it can help you assess and select variant color chips, confirm color-match using test-panels, check for proper metallic lay-out and blend edges for halos.
- The Bulb is virtually identical to natural daylight. It will significantly reduce the chance of metamerism occurring and provide an exceptional representation of what the job will look like outside (in natural daylight).
- This is incredable, the percentage of light vs natural day light is CRI (Color Rendering Index) = 99.35%. Like I said this is incredable...I have a friend that does street lighting design along with interior design in buildings and he confirmed that that's "probably" the highest CRI value he has seen, the reason he said "probably" is becuase that statement is based on the manufacturers he deals with. But man 99.35% wow, you will see why I'm so impressed with the pictures
- The Kelvin rating on the bulb is 4700 K Kelvin
- The Lux rating are as follows:
Standard Mode - The Lux rating at 2 or .6 meters is 1416.7
High Intensity Mode - The Lux rating at 2 or .6 meters is 2968.8 - The gun features three setings, press the triger once and the gun is operating in standard brigtness move. Press the triger for a second time and the gust boosts lamp brightness to what the manual calls "turbo mode". Press the triger for a thrid time and the gun turns off. The gun comes with a build in fan and a heat sensor. If the gun gets hot it will shut down and the fan will run till it's completely cool down. The manual says that it could take up to 15 minutes before it's completely cool oh and it wont turn on if it gets to hot.

Dust2Glory is right...you have all the tools! 
I have pretty much decided that I am going down to Seattle to get my 9227. It is $90 cheaper plus I am going down there anyways. I will shoot you a PM soon if you need anything.
but that's okay for now. As for the Brinkman I think devst8 got first dibs on the spare Brinkman (not even opened) but I'll keep you posted on the one I currently use..I'd like to continue to use it but will see.
