Usually you can leave the bulb in place and just turn it a little. Low tech, but it works. I like some light but not too much when I'm working at a computer.<br><br>Scott<br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Robert L.

The internal florescent lights are pretty bloody bright. It seems though that there is a sensor in them that if the sun is out and bright, they dim. I'm thinking I need some small devices I can make from RadioShack I can throw up in them to force them to Dim. The closest thing I can find online is the anoyatron which isn't quite what I have in mind, I want these to just dim the lights around me.<div>
<br></div><div>Any thoughts or anyone who can tell me how to put together something that'll run off a 9v battery for quite some time?</div><div><br></div><div>Robert</div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>:wq!<br>
