  Actually I wanted to go through the learning curve myself as
far as creating a flame. It was the theoretical behavior of the
light source I'm interested in. I didn't RTFM enough concerning
fade power and fade distance to realize that they do follow the
inverse square law fairly accurately.
Thanks for the offer though.
