Detectable Ballast Interference

Cops use thermal imagers, too, to spot buildings that are dissipating a lot of power. Even if the meters are boogered, I bet the power feeders get warm, too.

Hell yes. >:) And a far more restrained chemical evolution too. Sadly I can't pun any better without belabouring the point, it's very very late here...

Yep, definitely the same. I have a metal halide that I use for various things, and when photographing stuff I see this as a shift in the colour and brightness of the small LCD display. Usually that gives me enough cues to when to push the button. I still take a couple of pics to be sure though.

You've blown a selenium rectifier too ? :-(

I'll bet that isn't all you've blown.

I think he was thinking of rectifying a bit of abberant evolution... In case you're wondering what all this means, the Truth is Out There. *big hint*

When I was in the USAF (ca. 1970), we had a pressurized power supply for one of the transmitters; it had selenium stacks, which blew, but we didn't smell it until we opened the case and let the pressure out.

It cleared the shop for about half the day. =:-O

You bet. I used to 'blow' some things intentionally for effect.

The drugs you took did their job quite well.
