Awesome find thnx

All good thcammo, I though the same thing but here is what the output of a bare Vero 29 looks like. The COB is pointing at the ceiling, this is the side view. I tried hard to get the exposure to match what my eyes were seeing and I think this is a good representation.
This is a pair of Vero 18s side by side, 16" away from the wall, pointing directly at the wall. One has a lens attached and one is bare. The increase in intensity is 200-300% in the entire footprint. Again it was hard to get the exposure correct because the camera does not have the dynamic range that our eyes do and this picture slightly understates the dim side. But the lux meter numbers show an amazing increase in intensity, more than any reflector I have tried yet.
I was not expecting that I figured lenses would be a flop. It took some time and several test results before I could accept it. There are smart DIYers that remain unconvinced, so this is currently a controversial idea.
