    Tower Lights

    From Craig's List San Diego, here's exactly the thing for those of you with antenna towers in excess of 200 feet in height:



    Only $250 for the pair. Full listing here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Ha! Following an LED refit of about 15 towers a few years ago, I gave a bunch of those away for free.

    That's probably how this seller got his. But I had no idea the things were so large.

    Interesting. They're pretty cool items, but not $250 worth of cool.

    I donated one of these to this place a few years ago: http://www.rudyalicelighthouse.net/O...i/ThirtyMi.htm

    They have a museum display of various Fresnel lenses and the lamp I donated is used as an example of a type of Fresnel lens.

    The tail light lenses on most big trucks (and some cars) are flat Fresnel lenses.

    BTW, here's my own favorite light house. Smoked a lot of pot at the foot of the tower back in the early Seventies.
