Inspectors and judges at the event you attend will rule on this critical issue. If you think it might be a problem be prepared for removing it or disabling the light.
Al,

Can you point me to where this is allowed? I see a large muffin fan in the KOP but do not see any allowances for additional fans from outside of the KOP.

Mike
