I think you would need a wall wart for each

I suppose you could put a converter in the base, but that might get expensive, and I don't know what the MTBF of the converters is. It may be an investment issue. I have a few diode lamps that are kind of nice. I have a lot of flourescent lights, but my wife has issues with them on occasion. It's her makeup, really...

I have seen new products in queue, one being 2 super dright LEDs designed with a capacitor in them now glow for each part of the cycle and also smooth out the lighting in one nearly flat lighting package. And they take about 9W and produce a similar amount of light a 60W Bulb does. The lamp it goes in, is usually more expensive, as it needs to refract to get good coverage. But still over time, if these lighting packages were replaced at 5.5 Million perday... the next year Would save: 102,382,500,000 Watts hours (that is 102,382 Megawatt hours). The `I²R` losses wouldn't be ... saving even more. Blah, Blah Blah... I know. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE. Yeah, but 10s of Trillions of US Dollars?
