UPDATE: The police left the house, I am going to my fathers for a while.

I'm sorry to hear that that happened. I don't think that you would be sent to prison for that, nor would you be banned from here. We all make mistakes.

I've also noticed this, especially for scenes looking down long roads.

Interesting. I've also noticed that a lot of the lighting filmmakers use seems to produce a color similar to MV.

Glad to see you back! Cant wait to see more from you.

Well that seems like a lousy reason for someone to be sent to prison but there may be more to the story.

I hope everything turns out the best for you, and I wish you luck!

In many of the John Wick scenes, mostly outdoor fighting scenes, they appear to be lit by MV, but it is probably just a filter. The higher CRI probably helps, and the color probably gives things a more intense, evil, or scary look.

I got extremely mad for some reason and punched a massive hole in our wall. I don’t care if I get banned from this site.

I have observed swirling mostly on brand new lamps and used lamps that have been put into storage for a long time.

IMO swirling occurs when the point of contact between the discharge and the filament is too small. This can be caused when the emitter is still in its initial state and the electrode is prone to building hot spots.
It also can occur when the filament is damaged or the emitter is worn out - this can often be observed in flyback-driven lamps (simple battery inverter style). They tend to swirl when the go EOL...

A small point of contact can also be caused when the lamp is mercury starved and the argon is the main carrier of the discharge current.

Hello all I’m back and I still love visiting and participating in the LG community   
 
I’ve been quite busy with a demanding and exhausting work life, a fantastic European vacation, volunteering with media and lighting production at my local church, and spending time with my family and friends. 2025 has been an extremely busy and exciting year for me.

It’s a little disheartening with incandescent and halogen lamps going extinct from mainstream stores. Those are my favorite types of lamps to collect, use, and post. Don’t worry, I’ve found a few lighting goodies from this year that I’ll be posting soon 

Stay tuned for more regular posts! It’s great to be back
