It might be a cool option once it is released to the public. You did an amazing job. You should sell them.

Again man, this fixture is a thing of beauty. No detail left out. Although I'm sure you will have something to complain about it. LOL!

But the real reason for no more pics is that I chose the wrong ISO so the pics came out grainy and looks like poo. I'll take new ones tomm. Last edited: Oct 15, 2012

When I set it up it had a small lean. But now is almost level. ____________________________ Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk
