[candahill@worldnet.att.net]

Madhu, You missed the point. No matter how you wire it, a high-power light is going to seriously tax the TC's electrical system. I'm not planning on following George's original idea anyway. Being a small person, there is a very big chance that I could irritate someone larger than me which could result in severe physical consequences to me.
