Have you thought about "Deck Prisms"? They have been used on old sailing ships for decades. Unlike the plastic bottle solution (the bleach/copper is to help keep things from growing, antifreeze is good too) these are solid. The same thing can be done with a reflective inner surface, catching the light and drawing it down. If you combine this with fuller's pipe, you have light and ventilation. Throw a fresnel lens or two in the mix, and your light is that much more intense. Percy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
