The newer CFLs I have purchased appear to be radio-silent, at least at
HF freqs. Still want LEDs, tho...

Fry's has an LED desk lamp for $22. Kinda bluish but it only uses 3600 mA.


You added a zero, right?

3600 ma = 3.6 A X 120 volts = 432 watts. A mighty powerful desk lamp! :-)

Might have meant milliwatts. 3.6 watts would be about right for a
flood LED.

LEDs are Not So Bright !

LED Wattage -to- Incandescent Light Bulb Watts :

3.6 LED Watt ~ 32 Incandescent Light Bulb Watts

Note that a 3.6 Watt LED is about as 'bright'
as a 'dim' 40 Watt Incandescent Light Bulb.

I shouldn't try to be fancy early in the AM. I meant Milliwatts.
