It took a bright halogen and dark-adapted eyes.  Dark adaption is very
important!  Perhaps Jim C. can tell us how sensitive dark-adapted eyes are.
It total dark I can see such a low amount of light that a 400 speed film 
could not record, I am sure!

But this was my first and only camera tested so I need to do more testing.
