Some will be dimmer with a diode in series (since it passes a little less that one half of the AC cycle). Make sure voltage and current capacity is OK. Polarity doesn't matter here. I don't know how your Christmas lights are wired, but LED does stand for 'light emitting diode'. I would assume polarity matters. |

They don't get to decide, the referendum was for Scottish folk only (stupidly). It's ALWAYS difficult to get rid of a sick wanking asshole like you, Birdbrain. Ask your neighbours! Ask your relatives! They can tell you something about it. You're a PEST! Gay ****** Birdbrain about Women: -- Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) about women: "I don't want one. Easy enough to get one if I wanted one." MID: -- More of ****** Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange world: "Women should learn to enjoy sex.."

MID: -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) deep thinking: "Looking at a woman the wrong way is now illegal. Raising your eyebrow at an inappropriate time gets you a jail term. At this rate there won't be any kids being born soon." -- Gay ****** Birdbrain about women: "99% of females are not worth having." MID: |

Still no reason to make your lights any different to the sunlight. STILL insisting on being the village idiot here, Birdbrain?

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: Whatever; visually it is a massive difference. Everything is so much brighter. The old ones were positively a dull yellowy colour in comparison. Everything is NOT brighter. It's a different colour. Have you seen the light he's using, Birdbrain? NO! So shut your stupid sociopathic gob, filthy ******! -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) pathological "mind" revealed: "I am actually considering crashing deliberately into one of my neighbours. Three times he's stopped on the wrong side of the road, directly in front of me, then reversed into his drive. I had to brake hard to avoid a head on collision. Next time I'll glance at the camera to make sure it's rolling and carry on." Message-ID: |

driveling senile idiot, blabbered again: Whatever; visually it is a massive difference. Everything is so much brighter. The old ones were positively a dull yellowy colour in comparison. Added on top of slowly forming cataracts, I don't need any more yellow in my visual world. I also despise low pressure sodium street lights.

Just what is it with you and all those dumb senile Yanks on alt.home.repair, Birdbrain? It more and more appears to be an erotic thing. BG -- Yet more from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange sociopathic world: "I use an electric toothbrush with a double ended Oral B brush, with 5000ppm fluoride toothpaste (normal stuff is 1000 to 1500). I run the toothbrush on a Lithium Ion battery instead of two NiMH, so the motor goes faster." MID: |

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: There's the (much too common) mistake of assuming that what you've had is what's best.

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: It is true some of the things you drag home from a dimly lit saloon don't look as good when the sun comes up. That's nothing to do with the sun, that's your blood alcohol content being lower. Nope, it has to do with him being a decrepit senile idiot and you being a decrepit puerile idiot, Birdbrain! -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) "knowledge" LOL: "I heard a long time ago that it was possible to breathe water or something similar. It was either special fluid they could use for divers instead of gas, or it was certain people who could learn to breathe actual water, I can't remember which. Or it could have been that babies can actually breathe water as that's what they do in the womb." MID: |

The old ones were positively a dull yellowy colour in comparison. Added on top of slowly forming cataracts, I don't need any more yellow in my visual world. I also despise low pressure sodium street lights. Might as well go back to gas lights and ye olde lamplighter. Get something called Phillips hue. Then you can change the RGB value to suit your eyes. I already stated that the LED unit I installed allows for the color temperature to be selected by the user. |

Maybe it's time to let go of the haggis eaters. They don't get to decide, the referendum was for Scottish folk only (stupidly). It saves the embarrassment of a referendum choice of 'don't let the door hit you on the ass.' Right now the Brits seem to have enough problems with Northern Ireland. With the consummate diplomatic skills the Brits possess they'll probably start The Troubles Part 2. The only sane solution is for the Presbyterians in the north to convert to Catholicism and join the Republic. The malcontents can go back to Scotland where their knuckle-dragging ancestors came from. |

I wonder why they banned it in the UK? It didn't even say it was banned, it said "not available" as though it had been deleted. Willie is an American treasure we don't want to share with the world.

My phone is one of the earliest smartphones. It understands 1 in 20 websites, and can't download any "apps" except for Ebay, Facebook, and a very early version of Google Earth. It doesn't run on Android or Microsoft or anything most places have ever heard of. I think it's some Java based thing. My phone is a flip phone. It makes phone calls. It does receive SMS messages so I can do two factor authentication if needs. |
