Yup. Still, I didn't mean to start ragging on you. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. I'm glad to hear about anyone doing anything to save some watts.

I was just in Costco a few days ago, and they've got LED bar kits -- six or them, I think, about 9 inches long. They're RGB multi-colored and intended to be attached to your AV equipment --backlight your flatscreen or something like that. They're like this item, but cheaper and more sticks included.

It was kind of tough for me to not pick them up. I'm sort of colorblind, so colors have to be pretty bold for me to care about them. That might be why I like the Proton so much...

Anyway, I love the pure colors that come out of LED lights. I'd love to have them stuck all over my house as mood lighting. That, and I like the idea that you can change a room from cold blue to hot red and the push of a button.
