Old Club Lights Disposal

Most members will be aware that we have purchased new lights for our club nights and for use in photography training sessions. We had one of these lights at our April Club night and they will be a vast improvement on the old lights with multiple LED globes. The new lights are equipped with battery packs which will eliminate trip hazards for members and judges.

What to do with our old lights? These lights have been in use now for some time and have recently been checked by a licenced electrician and tagged. Your committee has agreed that before we dispose of the lights we will offer them for FREE to club members. So, “first in best dressed”. If you would like the lights and their accompanying stands please get in touch with myself by email or text – bicton36@gmail.com or 0438 403 933.
