Next we’ll use the tired and tested Mole-Richardson 1K Molepar as the base model for comparison of photometric … Continue reading

Inside the inflated white ball are two 1,000 watt halogen bulbs, which can only be lit once fully inflated (for your safety).  China balls have nothing on this huge, softly lit globe.
