Of course, but the brightest beam will be the brightest beam, in any environment. Brightest in the garage will almost certainly be the brightest in the sky, all other things being equal. If you think the test is more meaningful (or fun, maybe?) outdoors, by all means, lets do it outdoors, but recognize that the data could suffer: The Evaluator's viewing angle changing as folks mill about, viewing distances shifting, ambient light level changing, suspended material & humidity in the air, etc., and all of them randomly. The looser environment and consequent reduced control compromises the data. --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
