With help from Brian, Merle said this week “let’s get it done.” So today we installed 4 lights to test.

These first light s are a test of the equipment and to see how much light is thrown at night. We may need to upgrade to more lumens or add an extra light per pole if we feel more light is needed.

So far the first night test shows that the new lights are bright and should do the trick to assist in evening practice at the range. This will allow us to maximize our season by allowing more availability in the long Winter season.
