A Flashing Amber Light At An Intersection Means

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

Great concept, but this should be mounted near an 'intersection' otherwise the frame piece will twist toward the load of the light. We use a 'just in case' piece of wire/cable/tie wrap and connect the light's body to a stringer inside the grid.

12 core is where its at.

I have had so many of these, they are great! but I keep loosing them so get extras. Get the amber colored one also for when you are shooting indoors with ambient tungsten light, set the WB to Tungsten and both the flash and ambient light are the same color for perfect white balance.

We picked this thing up on a whim figuring hey its cheap enough well it may be cheap but it's not cheap. Great little light! The magnetic diffusion and amber filter are simply perfect. Need a Canon mount option, but it does come with one battery and charger in the kit.

The new aviator is truly a winner! Very very solid as a surefire should be. Easy to use. The white light is a great flashlight, but the amber light is where it really shines. While any light does affect night vision, the low amber setting does not seem to degrade it much. Makes for easy getting around in the dark. Be it in the house or the woods.

I watched a couple of videos on balancing the amber light with the flash and how to fold up the softbox. it isnt that easy to fold but can be done. I really like the different look in my first attempt o balance the light. It is really well constructed and should last.

The amber dome is definitely a useful add-on to your lightsphere when shooting indoors, where ambient light is present. I'd recommend it especially for weddings where ceiling lights and chandeliers are typically warmer.

Replaces origianl gel holder with a Full CTO of amber. Works very well in low light low Kelvin temp situations.

This is a very nice headlamp, without two levels of white light, a red light and a flashing red light.  Having the battery pack on the back makes it much easier to balance and the straps are adjustable over a wide range.
