Short aside folks: in this episode I say, in reference to the ETC PARNel that it “is a Fresnel optic in a PAR housing.” This is a mistake, what I meant to say is that the optics of a PARNel are roughly equivalent to the result that a Fresnel lens gives you. Clearly the PARNel is not a Fresnel optic. That is all.
