David, thanks for the URL - had come across the site a long time ago and 
forgotten about it.  Some of the cave photos are rather impressive. Not too 
sure I would like to be that far below the surface though.....

A guide number of over 500 for 100ASA film rings a bell for the bulbs that 
will be used.  Now that's proper light :-)
