UPDATE - Pilotfly reached out after this test and helped me find the output frequency setting (holding the mode button, scrolling through some settings, finding frequency) - adjusting that to 120khz eliminates the flicker issue and even makes it perceivably a little brighter.. so they get an additional point back for passing the flicker test.

If you are looking for Vertical poles though, you should try the Manfrotto Autopole. If you have a light, that almost never gets moved, this pole saves lots of floorspace. Just put it up, and mount the light with a Superclamp and a Spigot. Also works for pole-dancing... so extra value right there!

It would be nice to also know the total light output in lumens, rather that just what is landing on a surface. When lights get scored in lux only, they start to win by narrowing the angle of emission. I can always bring light closer or pull them back to cover the desired angle. Or use a standalone fresnel to focus. Not really the point of these light, I know. But I would really just like to know the total amount of light being put out.
