    Thank you. I'm sure some folks will be helped by this. Just want to thrown in a couple cents. glad to see you brought up the law of inverse square and want to say that when you say increase the light four times I take it that means double the intensity twice (first time is double and second time if four times the light, of course) which is how I understand it.
