I‘ m sure some of you know what that means. For Maria Parkers 06:30 a.m. start, I arrived on site about 4:45 a.m. Of course, it was dark and remained so until about 7:00 a.m. I had a flash light, but could have used more, particularly to type. Lesson learned, when you setup & break down in darkness, have adequate lighting.

As I conceived my WebCam, I included be seen lighting and well foot-path lighting and lights to aid in setting up the unit. BTW, Drew has given the "unit"  [which I called a buggy] a name. He calls it SCEPTER Transport Platform. SCEPTER stands for Single-purpose, Cycling Experiences, Pan & Tilt, Event Recorder. I had pinned CEBRW for Cycling Experiences… Blog Robotic WebCam. Anyway, back to lighting.

Key to my ability to work in the dark is the light you see on the tripod. It is a BarFlex Magnetic Pivoting Light by Stanley [strange—I cannot locate it at Stanley].  It has 6 hours of runtime and works well for the purpose for which I bought it. There will be more on lighting as I describe the systems and components. This will be over the next several weeks.

We see the [what's its name] is ready, even when site arrival/departure is in the dark.
