There are 7 15-watt bulbs that emit the light equivalent of an 80 watt incandescent bulb. In total, they consume about as much as a 105 Watt incandescent light bulb, so I don’t worry about flicking the switch and lighting up the backyard in the summertime.

I am confused. You're burning 105 Watts of power to get the equivalent of 80 Watt lightbulb? The math's off somewhere, there FRiend...unless that's 7 80 Watt lightbulbs you are replacing.

Can LED lightbulbs work with dimmer switches? I know the flourescents don't, but nobody seems to care.

Sorry. I noticed my omission after I posted it and hoped that I wouldn't get called on it... :-)

That should have read:

There are seven 15-watt bulbs, each of which emits the light equivalent of an 80 watt incandescent bulb.

Har! I thought so, after I posted. I said, "Cyber, you dope! Can't you see that can be read in a way that makes more sense?"

So....you'd been blowing a hole through the ol' ozone with 560 Watts worth of light so your dog can go pee in the Summertime? There are AM radio stations out there (playing Barry Manilow, no doubt) that don't have that much power at night. Might as well install a GE space-heater right next to Greenland! The AlGore Commissar will be dropping by soon....
