my high school psych teacher found a website all about "back-talk". ill try to find it.

1. yes

2. yes, or sand it or chip it. its easier than trying to drill a hole in that tiny top.

3. no clue, maybe ill try.

I would imagine so... but I'm not an expert on electronics.
you would think:
they are putting off less light => they would require less power to illuminate
35w bulb puts off less light than a 75w bulb, so having less light = requiring less power

I heard sanding down the tops of LEDs will make them disperse light in almost a 60º angle instead of 30º

be careful or I'll lock this puppy :twisted:

yup, sand down leds, dim your lights. wink.gif

throw some catnip everywhere, so atleast if they come, they will put on a good show for ya.

i guess you could say electric scooters are getting pretty big. i hate them, people need to have some kind of exercise.
