How are the power supplies in these little  beasties?  Are they noisy?  Could
they be?

I just replaced four gas-guzzling  incandescent lamps in my dining room
chandelier with four LED lamps that  screw into the same bases. Went
from 240 watts to 6 watts, total.

The  usual complaint about LED lamps is the cost. But prices are coming
down  fast: these were only about $4 each at Costco. Each contains 21
white LEDs,  and they basically last forever, which means I won't
constantly be replacing  lamps in this fixture.

If the world converts to LED lighting, we won't  need to build any more
power plants, and we can all use KW amps guilt-free  :)
