This statement regarding the coloured party globes, is actually incorrect.
It is a popular myth though.
Not going to go into the whole spectrometry thing here, but yeah, there is my spanner for the works.
If anyone is that keen to know email me sometime |
Since I thought highly of SlothHeads input on this subject, I thought I'd drop a link to a post of his on this very subject. Lighting ??

most are rated at 210-230 v and your running 240 v through your GPOs.
I use a dimmer and they seem to last forever.
