Default The Power of the Stadium Lights:Unbelievable!

I walked into one of my miniature football rooms late last night not realizing before I had left earlier, I did not turn off the lights. I opened up the room, the Monday Night music began to play, the crowd started to cheer, and the lights were on one the Cowboy stadiums that I am working on.

I thought to myself, "What a wonderful feeling having found the right type of lighting system to give the game the most realistic feeling I have ever wanted". I decided to lay down in the stadium, all 800 pounds of me and just look up into the bright lights of the stadium.

I then started the Jumbotron and looked at Cowboys history dating back from 1960 to the present. I then decided to take my remote control for crowd noise and turned it up just so I could get a feel of what it is like on the floor of an NFL stadium looking at highlights on a jumbotron and hearing the crowd sound. By that time, my wife Rose, came into the room and said, "Reg, come to bed". At that time, I realized I was in a room of fantasies and nothing was real but instead, miniature. I said to myself, "Priceless".

Those shots are beautiful!
Your post reminded me of something that I had mentioned to you once but forgot to send you info on. The cap light! Check these out. The shape and the wirelessness of them could be great for stadium lights for future projects. I bought one for $5.00 at a camping store and use it when painting but with very little work these could be converted to great stadium lighting.
