Hi Phil,

no, I don't need to run lower power, and there is no snaking streamer
to the screen. The screen is effectively increasing the standoff 
voltage,
as you can see in the example of Bouwers in the accompanying
diagram and description. Before mounting the screen I experienced
strong direct arcing to the ceiling, which disappeared completely
afterwards.

Regards
Kurt
