<<<<<<<<<<What aluminum golf ball technique?

Jg>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was referring to a technique that was once used for a strobe light for a
locator in a space mission (I think that was for aapproaching a satellite
with the space shuttle, or something to that extent). They needed to
maximize the range, and they could not increase the power output of the
strobe, so they experimented with reflectors, and they ended up making a
reflector in the shape of a golf ball (so the light bulb is entirely
surrounded with metal, the light exiting through plenty small holes). They
claim that was a very efficient reflector for an omni-directional
application.
