Hello

Added a photo showing a typical setup for a leuchtgruppe in Bergen. Having a 150 cm scheinwefer, horchgerät, and leitrichgerät.
The scheinwerfer positions are al aprox 9 m in diameter. The positions for horchgerat are similar to the regelbau flak 292, and the positions for the leitrichgerät are similar or like the regelbau flak 258. In addition there was a barrack, a shelter for the generator and a garage. The last two was in some cases at the same place. There was also one or two mg positions and a often small bunker.

Its interesting whe following Jens Andersens link to read the following:
Kortet viser den taktiske opstilling af 150 cm og 200 cm lyskasterne i 3 'ringe'.
Indre 'ring'/linie udgøres af lyskasterne 1 og 7.
Næste 'ring'/linie udgøres af 2, 10 og 8.
Mellemste ring udgøres af 2, 4, 11 og 8. Såfremt en lyskaster var blevet opstillet på Risbjerge (?), var den indgået heri.
Yderste ring udgøres af 3, 5, 6 og 9.

It was the same in Bergen. The leuchgruppen was organized in 3 rings with the city in the center. The first with leuchtgruppe 1-9, the second from 10-19, and the third from 20 and upwards.
Also to be noted that most leuchtgruppen(and the heavy flak batteries) was multi purpose, could also be used against sea targets.

Interesting Stril, i took many years before i solved this for IJmuiden area. There are also several rings, some of them are aranged for area defence! Should this common for a position defenced by many heavy flak points? Do you know the was a doctrine ore some document that descript this as a 'rule' .... better in combination with a UgrUko.

Its hard (for me) to confirm the object on the lufo. You see the searchlight position in the Olmen Batterie. Picture situation 44/45. Drawing 5-45.
