I'm concerned that the 12" projection won't be enough and that we'll go back to the bright lights. Does anyone have this light? How does it work out in practice? Thanks. -------------------- 60mm Swift Refractor 5 inch Burgess 1278 Refractor 6 inch Edmund Scientific Reflector 8 inch Celestron SCT Celestron ASGT mount Canon 15x50is - Cape Cod Astronomy Society New Hampshire Astronomy Society Post Extras:       dgs© Postmaster Reged: 03/29/04 Posts: 13915 Loc: West Monroe, Louisiana Re: Anybody own this post lamp?

It looks like 60W max light bulbs, so it isn't intended as parking lot lighting, only porch/walkway lighting. Should be fine for that though. -------------------- - david 8"Ø Newtonian on SVP, Moonlite CR2, Telrad PST Oberwerk Ultra 15x70 Orion Ultraview 10×50 Hand-me-down Sears Refractor (Discoverer) 60mm×900mm "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world, remains and is immortal." --Albert Pike Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
