New BEP Application
Grant McKee has been working hard using BEPs in a good many applications around the office, so we've got him to put together a simple application of the BEP - the Pummer nocturnal Strobe. We'll be posting other BEP applications under the 'Special Projects' gallery, so check back once in a while!
