Whoo Hoo! Methinks I'll have to take you up on that! If you would,
drop me an email with the Radio Shack part# of the lamps you bought
so I can check one out, and we can work out some technical details
of the MRALS configuration.

Haven't bought 'em yet, pending the final design specifications. If you
have a way to use LEDs instead (and remember, the prime directive is that
they must be easily installed so that they stick out below - and through -
the suspended ceiling tiles.), all the better!

So when do you plan to do the installation? :-)

Well, I may not actually be able to *do* the installation but the
controller will be easy to hook up by connecting the wires from
the lamps to a terminal block. I'll be able to send it to you
sooner than I'll be able to visit 8-) The thing will drive up to 16
stages, and handle incandescents (up to 12 volts) or leds. I looked
into some blue leds, and they may need to be "pointed" somewhat
toward the oncoming traffic, due to their 30 degree viewing
angle, to show up best. Should work fine though.

Brightness and timing settings are with four "pots" you adjust
with a small screwdriver.
