I pretty much enjoy all of RAH's works. Oh, there IS a way to make 'canopy lights', I saw it done a couple times. All you need is 8 or more sets of handkerchief, chem light & those little split locking rings similar to those used for shower curtains or loose 3-ring binding. You tie stings to each corner of the hankie then tie those to the split ring & slide a chem light on each ring. After the canopy opens you pull down each riser & clip at least 2 rings onto different shroud lines on each riser. As soon as you let them go the breeze will pull them up to the canopy & there you have 8+ lights around the edges of the canopy. It IS an eerie sight the first time you see them.
