Interesting info about the 'wall-warts' (never heard them called that before), I never knew they could draw a current like that. Believe it or not though, there are a new generation of low-energy light bulbs that CAN be used with dimmer switches; havent seen any around, but there was an advert for them on the telly the other day. I should get some though, would help my electric bill a little. The only reason I never bought any before was because of price & the fact they take ages to 'warm up' to full brightness, and didnt like being turned on & off in quick sucession. Nower days though they are alot cheaper, warm-up almost instantly, and I can live with leaving them turned on or off depending on my movements around the flat.
