I never thought of it that way, I knew of course that it used only 400 watts, I just wasn't sure about exactly what technology the imaging equipment used with respect to detection of specific kinds of bulbs or lighting. I am rookie and have some cold feet. I have been to jail for a night a couple times long ago and have no interest in returning. Of course, there is a risk, but I want to minimize it to the point where I have a better chance at winning the lottery then I do at being detected.
