    Telrad sight for Source4 Spot Kit

    Is there a proper way/place to attach a Telrad sight to a Source4 Spotlight kit with a 10deg lens on it? I can't really find a good mounting place on the unit and my spot ops are having trouble with pick ups, so they definitely need the sights. Thanks in advance!

    Lycian Xenon Spot On Dimmer

    I found a Lycan Miget HP on a dimmer. Is this ok to do? It is running off an ETC Cem3 dimmer, the level for the spotlight was set from the dimmer's cpu, not the desk.
