    To me, in this video, my phone made it brighter than it really is. Wondering if yours did that, Kevin?

    I couldn't see the video you posted, but mine is actually brighter than my video showed, because it was so bright in my kitchen. I'll post a really short clip i have on my phone, of it in my buddies garage. (i think its the one on my Instagram)
