Lightwave International and their questionable Phenom claims

[colouredmirrorball]

IMO, when somebody calls out a company or product because they think the claims made are simply impossible, but it turns out the product meets the claims after all, then it's not libel, it's advertisement!

TBH I feel sorry for PJ as I think this thread became a bit of a witch hunt. There are ways of defending the company and / or pointing out incorrect assumptions politely without lynching the guy, which is what it felt like in places....

With regard to that video Aage, interesting but I think also having seen it that maybe Norty was right that maybe LW might have not had the lenses in place when they filmed the video on their web page as that one looks to me at lot more fuzzy than the other one, well either that or the fog was just too heavy in the 2nd video, because it certainly was well fogged.

maybe Norty was right

When has maybe ever applied...?

^^^^ 1:29 "Lasers used to take 5 long days to set up before any performance."

Whaaaa??? I truly respect LWI and see the value in this product, but this wasn't the only comment in this video that I thought was misleading, overstated or lacking proper caveats. It just goes to show that you shouldn't let your marketing folks have too much rope . .

I'm just avoiding a mistake made earlier in this thread by another poster, never make a statement of fact. It's far better to keep it to opinion.

..and yep Norty speaking generally, you're usually right.

I find it interesting that at 1:43 he states "without any special training" but then from 2:50 they show them using a scope for "calibration" of the presumed scanfail

So, two things
Would a scopes not require special training to use on the device and
How many lighting guys carry a scope with them?
