5 volts, 1/2 amp

[strredwolf]

The light fixture blew completely as I was screwing in another bulb (it was down to one, and I was replacing one of the dead four).  Wiring looked ok, but I'd have Dad look at it tomorrow.  After futzing with Mom's request, I had to get a shower and get to bed.

Unfortunately, I have no overhead light.  So what do I grab?  15 feet of USB extention cord, a USB power adapter, and a LED light.  Snake the cord from the power adapter and GFI socket over the door and just at the corner of the shower, and... get just enough light to shower.

Five volts, half an amp.  Glad the shower curtain and sides are WHITE

That's partly why I keep a box of candles in the bathroom.

I just shower in the dark. Really now, how old are you? You don't know every inch of your body from head to toe? You don't know your own bathroom by touch? It sounds like you over thought and over engineered yourself there. Too much tech on the brain.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I've had some half baked ideas come to fruition. Later on down the road, after giving them some serious thought, I just laugh at myself for doing them.

HEY! I'm a geek! I'm supposed to over-engineer it! Besides, why do something half-assed when you can do it full assed?

Ether way, I'm half tempted just to replace the fixture. CFL anyone?

I have a few spare CCFL's with power supplies.

Now you're not being geeky enough. Why CFL when you can LED? http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.907

I've had a CFL crack in the bathroom from moisture. Not a good thing.
