Thank you Wayne, and Jesus.  I have decided to never work with a tube or CFL ever again!!!  LEDs are the way to go in my opinion.

PS  I just had another 2 cfl's burn out in my bedroom.  These were both less than 3 months old, and I hardly ever turn on the bedroom lights so they had very little use.  What a giant waste of money.

Yes, on mine too.  I congratulate everyone here for this achievement.  We have all worked very hard and have discovered some interesting things and have built some really cool and useful stuff over here.  Maybe not overunity....yet....but still some very useful devices to be sure.

@Bill,
Yes, I agree with everyones positive remarks about passing the 1000 mark, a lot of excellent research and work has been done by every poster, no matter how, if it was a single post or those who have contributed many.


To all,
I am not going to say any names, but I just want to say a public thank you to a number of people (and those who prefer to remain anonymous) who have said they would send me some items to help me out through the loss of a lot of my stuff through the floods I have had to endure, thank you very much indeed.

From the PMs I have received I have several packages in transit right at this moment, I am over whelmed right now by the generosity of those very kind people......It means a lot to me, and reflects the calibre of all the people who are on the Overunity Forum.

Thank you.

Jim:

You have helped many a member here on this topic as well as other topics and you have had quite a time down under with those floods so...now some of us have a chance to return the kindness that you have shown.

No worries Mate.
