Re: Indy's flash light. New Gear.

LED's don't have the same color temperature as quartz and would appear very different on screen, Mutts light was a custom 500 watt quartz light. The flashlight would need to have the same type of lamp (with lower wattage), for the light to look correct in the same scene.

Re: Shawl-Necked Cardigan

For those interested, Duluth Trading Post has the Woolpaca cardigans in stock again, these are VERY close to the MOTB cardigan.
I don't know if it is posted on their web site yet, but you can order by phone. Mine arrived last week and I'm wearing it now, very warm and cozy. :D
