There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Took delivery of a humongous box of lamps from James, of which the long-awaited Blue GE Dichro PAR38 lamp was just one  More photos to follow as we work our way through them, I think a group photo might be a good first step..! Thanks to James for a wonderful trade
