Power could be visualised with the color level. As for
fallof, the only range of value which is not
visualised correctly is the 0.0 - 1.0 range. Falloff
at 0.0 is visualised correctly with all three rings at
the same level of blending.

IMTO, the falloff value is as import if not more
important than the power and how I did it is a good
way to visualise it quickly. I'm open to suggestion,
of course.
