Could that be all that clean diesel soot hidden back there?

I was wrong. There really is some detail in the dark areas beyond the
columns. I did some contrast and gamma tweaking with Irfanview, which
brought out some detail:

So, it might be real, where the Photoshop job removed all the expected
floor debris, ceiling hangers, and column fasteners which I would
expect in such an underground garage. Or, the background might have
been borrowed from a Poser or DAZ 3D libraries. I'm sure the photo
was edited, but I don't know to what degree.


Their Artist photo(shop)grapher is likely to have signed a bummer NDA, but
you could always try and ask info at bumm d0t de

Would you buy a headlight from a company that fakes their demo/test
photos?


As long as their product is what I expected and they don't also fake their
customer service: possibly yes.

Afaics, bumm's English claim merely is "We show real light fields of all of
our headlights." This doesn't go as far as to be claiming complete light
fields, single-photo pictures or pictures taken in more real surroundings
than those secret NASA Fake Moon studios Barry divulged.

I like bumm's garage series better than their previous, ridiculously bright
tunnel exit series. But they should not have hired Mr. von der Heiden,
apparently their product rendering designer, to build their garage, mess
with the mandatory emergency lighting, pour concrete over the garage's
drain, and obstruct an exit with flammable textiles.
