Bill,

Where did you find your IR bulbs?  I am looking for some for a similar outfit.

Was going to adapt an IR filter to sit in a modified flash head, however
the necessity to remove the filter to change the bulb has put me off that
idea.  Could use clear tape and "hinge" the filter however there would
inevitably be light escaping around the edges.


All the best,
