The shocks do not hold the door up al the way. I have to insert a helper stick.

Moonlight.

At first I used this cheapy bulb, but didn't really like it that much.

Then when I was on vacation in the states I found a 13watt PC "party" bulb for sale. It is a blue bulb that seems to have its output centered at aroun 440 Nm or so.

It is more then bright enough for a moonlight, has lasted more then a year, and actually flouresces the zoos a little!

It was actually a little bit too bright, so I set up a small light blocker and all works well.

Very nice. I wish I knew how to make things like that - my brother is a carpenter but he lives on Van. Island so too far away for me to take advantage of his skills.
