Thanks for the site!!
But I personally found the information and methodology for testing sophmorish at best!!

 

[Zepper]

Only eight of the tested models are available here. I also noticed that they report Power Factor as a percent :roll: - PF is the Cosine of the lag (in degrees) between the voltage and current draw curves (some use the formula: true Power in Watts/Volt-Amps; which gives approx the same number) which yields a number between 0 and 1 - NOT a percentage!

I'd like to know how they're running in 6 months and a year or two.

It?s not the best test in the world true but it's still much better then most.

Your right about the PF but really so what?, the number value is still the same.

If they get that wrong then they're more likey to get other bits wrong too [/devils advocate]

Have you ever heard the sound of somone screaming as if their soul had been ripped from their body?

Or maybe just the tearing of hair being ripped from their skull?

Even though we run our mains at 230V here in the UK

News to me. Hell, all that time thinking we used 240V, god what an idiot i am.
