Hmmm, not sure we're on the same page with this. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to be corrected. Using your figures, what I'm saying is: > The 100W incandescent bulb will produce 85W of heat and 15W of...

What do you think happens to all that light when it's in a closed container like a gunsafe? It's not getting out of the safe as light. It doesn't build up inside the safe so you get a massive burst...

There'd be a justification for both the 3.5-18x44 and the 2.4-12x50. The 2.4-12x50 is an inch shorter, has 29% more objective lens area and should have more depth of focus. As I understand it, side...
