Hello, Carol,

In your reply to Dr. Bob, you seemed to be saying the "hot lights" would 
heat up the glass of the acquarium tank LESS than the flash would.
Do I understand that assertion correctly?

On the manuscript -
When I photographed some really old drawings in the Taipei National Museum 
for retouching,
I used a UV filter over the flash head and bounced the light off an 
umbrella. The curator had no objections. But it was costly to move the 
drawings to a private room.

Cheers, good to hear from you!    :)

-Wayne
