Welcome to the neighborhood

First off, I'm not working consistently, so for me, price is the issue.

The price you quote (1500), is that the Millennium? If not, I would price that.

Me? I'm not offended when someone adds the word I am struggling with. I'm trying to communicate something, and having the listener help isn't an issue. It's very similar to not remembering something, and pausing as a friend remembers a name or word for me.

My thinking is that you are measuring the amount of light that hits the paper. The only factor is the distance between the center (where the bulbs are), to the paper.
