We've had to replace more than half our fixtures anyway because they've
been overheated by incandescent bulbs over periods of decades.  And
that's where the lighting wasn't totally inadequate in the first place.
 I swear I do not understand what it is with people who think a single
sixty-watt bulb is adequate illumination in ANY room.  A *closet*, maybe....

Funny.  I always thought a constantly-networked supercomputer would be
more capable.
