Rad! Both are in the same night?

No both were different learning curves on different occasions the 1st was when we were quite young grabbing the old mans gun and going for a wander down the back the second well as we,d been shooting possums all weekend for the palmy possum shoot my mate droped me off home at 3am and went home parking the car in the under house garage leaving the spotlight still hooked up to the battery latter that night the cat woke my mate up he smelt the smoke they all ran down steers to find the car fully ablaze they managed to push it out before the ceiling caught fire....then the fire brigade got stuck coming up there driveway a fare bit of heat comes of those spotlights especially with a jacket over it !
