I have 5 of these light sets and will probably never use them. I see what they are going for on GL. Is the value because people want them or for scrap copper?
I have been thinking of getting rid of them because I doubt I will ever use them. I don't want to give them away but I don't think they are made of gold either. Gonna post an add in the for sale section. I'd like to see someone get them that wants them rather than for scrap. They are nearly 100% complete.
Lamps are blue for night light discipline. It's easier on your eyes to go from blue light to darkness than white light to darkness. The pupils don't take as much time to react. The light sets probably went in Tactical Operations Command (TOC) tents in the field. Nice sets...throw them on eBay.

They are colored bulbs. And I think they are just portable light sets for tents and such. They have covers for the lights and dimmers and everything in the kit. Real slick. But I don't have much information on them. that's what I would like to find out too.

The bulbs are blue so they are not seen as far away (they usually have blackout cones on them also). Two boxes makes up one complete light set, which will put lights into about four GP Medium tents. Usually issued one set (2 boxes) to a company. It's all two wire stuff and the lines that are the main power are fairly heavy copper - 10 or maybe 8 gauge. The sets weigh a lot and it usually takes three or four people to carry them any distance. I got two sets (four boxes) a couple of years ago at Bragg DRMO for under $300 - haven't priced them recently.

When COLEMANS have them in stock, they sell them for $49.00 a box. I've seen people ask a lot more but don't know what they settled for. Keep in mind the cables are two wire, in other words - no ground- so they don't make dood extension cords. It seems the BRUCE lights are in pretty good demand and bring a much better price. Here is the link to COLEMANS so you can see the listing.
