Okay, I'm getting a little irked by people dissing on thick walled blades.
I realize that they are indeed heavy, and that thin-walled blades are plenty durable unless you're working with Novastar.
But mainly I hear that thick walled blades are not as bright as thin walled blades.
I don't get this, because my brightest blade is a thick walled blade. It's 28" exposed, and uses Tim's polystyrene blade diffuser and 4' of cellophane.
It provides an insanely intense beam of light.
I understand that the thin-walled blades have a larger interior diameter, thus yielding a higher surface area for light to reflect off of, but I have not yet seen demonstrated that thin walled blades really are brighter than my thick walled blade.
Or, when people say that thin walled blades are brighter, do they mean noticeably brighter or just theoretically brighter?
