OK!  That's just what I need.  What bulk rate would you charge for a couple
dozen?  :-}

I don't seem to have much interference problems (yet) but I still have 6-10
incandescents around the house because of the flicker problem.

I guess, though, from your post that you yourself don't feel qualified to
invent them yourself.  Half of the difficulty lies in properly defining the
product...
