The detection bulb is about the size of an H1 halogen bulb (Un-shelled peanut size?), and can be separate from the circuit board if needed. Cost was around $200 if I remember right. Supposedly is NOT triggered by infrared radiation (such as glowing hot manifolds) but only by a specific band of UV light that is present in open flames/combustion. I'm sure Marc will be able to give the nitty gritty when he gets back to a computer. Great Fly-in, guys.. glad to have been there. Dave
