haha great effort mate :D

what's your exposure with that bad boy?

I also think the ice light is a rip off. I was really close with the creator's brother and got a chance to check it out before release a few years back and I always thought it would be an expensive gimmick for the wedding cowboys haha

That's actually a pretty decent output for just a torch.

Show us what it's like in darkness? Spread and all that?

Cover the light? You mean the inside for reflection?

pic below showing original ice light and i wondering what did they use for cover (that white bit where the light coming)... plexiglass, frosty plastic or maybe something else...
