Re: PAPA SMURF TO START SOME "LIGHTING" HOW-TO'S, IN SEPTEMBER!
Jeez! Sounds to me like you should be teaching this, instead of me Dude! I just have electronics assembly training, and computer science schooling. My College degrees were for Graphic, and Commercial Arts. Engineering is wayyyy out of my league! 
What I want to go over is very basic circuits using leds, fiber optic concepts as they apply to modeling, and such. I'm going to stick with 3 volt power ranges, and get into resistors for higher voltages later on.
This is definitely going to be application for models, not theory. It's more "art" than technology. I use technology to enhance this art form. What might interest you, is how the technology your familiar with, is used in modeling applications..I hope!
I welcome you, but I get a feeling this is going to bore you to death. But if a concept I throw in there is something new for you, I'll feel fuzzy all over! ;D
