What isn't clear to me, but I hope you or Gord or Bill or another person
savvy in such matters can explain is, can grounding be a problem with
ready-made strips? I'd always assumed they were made grounded, that is
the ones that come with plug and switch ready-to-use. But there seems
possibility from what's said today that I should in any event check
grounding of the receptacle ???

And Keith, you might consider removing the foil once the lights are lit,
if it's feasible. My tests showed that it really did fuzz up the image --
tho perhaps might not with a digital neg.
