There are companies that have invested a lot of money into these technologies and there are consulting engineering firms (and individuals) that have years of experience in this field and do this kind of work for a fee.

SONT? Sounds French to me. I think we may have another CRIMINAL usage here. As far as height is concerned I recommend that things be kept well below a kilometer in height. To understand why I recommend you study the inverse square rule to the propagation of light.

What is Son-T? Just like in Gothard 2x400W Son-T light. I couldn't find an article about it.

Quote Red Fred "I recommend that things be kept well below a kilometer in height."

Is that due to air planes flying in the area?

I'll fly the helicopter while you lean out to change a lamp.

Brings a whole new meaning to working at heights.
