[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 183455, member: 2852"] I bought the Oehler lighting system last summer after many failed attempts to make a suitable light system myself. I tried LED lights and they just didn't have enough juice to make the lenses work. The Oehler system consists of a bracket on the orange diffuser which holds a special "display counter" bulb that is about 10" long and snaps into the bracket. It has a switch on it and a 110 plug. I use a three plug outlet and run an extension cord to a generator or a battery pack. The bulbs are somewhat rare and I had to special order them from a lighting supply store in Salt Lake City. They were a spendy $20 each and you will need some spares. I have had two of the bulbs that were sent to me by Oehler break already but I have yet to have the others that I ordered from the supply store break. The whole unit is only slightly more bulky to pack up and works flawlessly in the darkest of nights. The only bad thing is the fragile long filaments in the bulbs (I take mine to the range in an SKB pistol case with extra padding). Well, that and the hassle of taking a generator or battery pack to the range! Dr Oehler told me that you can run the m35 at night with only two bulbs but 3 work better so that's what I did. [/QUOTE]
