[Elecraft] totally OT, except to the extent that it's QRP: LED lamps

I just replaced four gas-guzzling incandescent lamps in my dining room 
chandelier with four LED lamps that screw into the same bases. Went 
from 240 watts to 6 watts, total.

The usual complaint about LED lamps is the cost. But prices are coming 
down fast: these were only about $4 each at Costco. Each contains 21 
white LEDs, and they basically last forever, which means I won't 
constantly be replacing lamps in this fixture.

If the world converts to LED lighting, we won't need to build any more 
power plants, and we can all use KW amps guilt-free :)
