I can attest to the fact that these lights are more than enough to illuminate the targets and then some. For those of you that are unaware, 2590 was nice enough to give us their spare lighting setup after ours (60mm and 80mm standard KOP style ring lights) was destroyed. The lights were noticeably brighter (unbearable at 3' or so, to be honest) and seem much more well made. From what I could tell, one of the ring lights has about the same output as our original setup, which makes us feel much more confident that we'll be able to illuminate the target if we lose a ring of lights... again.
Also, for those of you with any doubts, this machine is the real deal. Dead accurate shooting, effective floor pickup and a smart, well prepared competition team too.
