Quartz to LED conversion

So nothing out of the rear to hit the reflector....

Lucky plod didn't break your door down - I think they've been known to use thermal imaging cameras in helicopters to look for people with hot lofts....

Soon the smart meters would alert an owner if an unusual activity was taking place on your supply.

No it went straight in without any mods. It was snug enough to stop it rotating but enough space for easy fit.

I have got the pre-runner of the smart meter shows what power is being used, or did until battery went flat, to start with yes looked at it every day but novelty soon fell off. hence not renewed battery.

I meant no light coming out of the rear to be reflected....

Sorry.

Yes no light out of rear to be reflected. It is aimed as low as it can go. Please excuse out of focus taken both 8 seconds at F3.5 ISO 200 hand held and the two show difference with and without the light. My ambulance the red one shades the area between the two, the light was to catch this area as seen street lamp gets the rest. I would say this is very near to what I can see with my eye. The 5W lamp is ample for my needs. Red streak on second was a car passing. Not too bad for hand held?

You didn't blank the first number plate!

I did not think it was readable so did not bother. Don't even know why I bothered with the second picture. I was trying to show the difference between on and off. Very careful to select same setting for both so camera set to manual and when converter from RAW to Jpeg I did no enhancement. First attempts did not really show the change my camera compensated so had to go to manual even then found camera auto changing the ISO to compensate so took 7 photos to get a pair you could compare. Never had that problem with film.

You have a very steady hand Eric!

I will admit taken with a DSLR with a floating CCD to reduce camera shake. I will give Pentax their due the anti-shake really does work. Not bad for an 8 second exposure.
