What should I do?? > >--Adi What you have is a cylinder not a hole. Your light path is being trimmed by the thickness of the material thru which you poked the hole. Best fix would be to use a counter-sinking bit that comes to a sharp point and counter sink the hole from the inside of the cap. It should be as shallow an angle as possible. Otherwise you could make a bigger hole and adhere a piece of foil over it and poke the hole thru the foil. Regards, Ben W. Holmes Boulder, CO USA bholmes@frii.com
