[Rhodes22-list] Issue of watts for side running lights, etc.

[Tootle]

Dana,

Thank you for explaining to Art that you used comparable wattage.  Different
manufacturers often put different wattage on the labels for essentially
equivalent bulbs.  Sometimes there are patent or copyright issues that have
to be waltzed around.  

I would also point out that often a bulb is labeled 12 vdc and works fine in
6 vdc or 32 vdc.  What gives?  At those low voltages there is not a
significant difference, at least as concerned with its ability to function
appropriately.

Art,

How about going down to a couple of auto parts stores and compare the bulbs
under discussion as to wattage and price, you know, enlighten us.

Now for some political comment:

Al Gore is now auditioning for another award.  He is saying that the polar
ice cap is melting, that we should not drill for oil, yada yada.  Al, I am
sorry in 10 years there will still be a need for oil.  It is an ingredient
for many plastics.  Some of those plastics cannot be made from the
alternative plastic sources. 
 
He has yet to show any pictures of the North Pole and Greenland in the years
800 to 1000 A.D. when Greenland was Green.  Today we laugh at the name
Greenland that the Vikings called the country.  However, as the glaciers
retreat, they keep finding stone farm houses and barns under the retreating
glaciers.  

Al, is it possible that in 800 to 1000 A.D. Greenland was called such
because it was green?  Has he shown that during that time there was an ice
cover over the present location of the North Pole?  Al Gore is an arrogant
dumb ass who does a disservice to us all.
