I recognized this as a problem early on. That is why I sic'ed Daniel
Stern on th e lamp problem he came up with a good one, and sent me the
sample, which I still have. Tht will be the one we will work to with the
project. It is an available American lamp. Don't know what to do about
retrofitting it to existing grilles.
