As a point of interest, the 75W ILC xenon arc lamp with internal parabolic reflector will project about 50,000 peak beam candlepower into a 7 degree beam. With an aiming system like that on the late, lamented Tucker, one would be ready for bear (or deer, moose, caribou, kangaroos, armadillos, etc.) OTOH, the return from road retroreflectors might destroy the down-range contrast enhancement desired. *** ...Kirby (Kirby A.
