Let's do the Time Warp again.

Hey thanks Swizz I'm glad you got something out of it and your lights are cool.
But really your mugs are very cool, and your Bob o nut is one of the coolest tiki bobs out.
It would be a shame if you stopped making mugs.

Thanks ATP for the tip.
I have looked at LED and found some of them have a directional light beam.
In other words the LED C7s And C9s just don't work at all.

Also the larger LED standard base lights often have a bluish cast that I hate.( mostly home use)
I have to say that I cannot believe that we are in an age where the government can tell
us what kind of F*&^ing lights we can or cannot use!
Ok no politics.

Plus my main goal when I do make lights is to look like they are old, like from the Kahiki.
Just don't think the LED light fits that goal.
That is my view and if people like LED and make it work in their space all good too.
This tiki world is mostly fake and how you get the right look does not matter as long
as it works.

I did work at OSU as an electrician for a bit and changed lights for years and in this
time found that florescent lights burned out ALL over campus right after a power outage.
This makes me think that we will find that these LED lights also do not have the long life that we are told about.
They have transformers in them that would pop the light is my point.
I doubt that when testing the LED lights that they did real life tests that included power outages and surges from power going back on.
But maybe they did who knows.

Look I still have an answering machine and no cell phone so...
My brother thinks that is so funny.
