  The top-poster needs to stop babbling junk about mostly a product line
including an LED lamp producing 155 lumens from 7 watts being a "side
issue" since this was in response to the top-poster complaining about an
LED lamp producing 155 lumens from 7 watts.

  Or is the side-issue that the top-poster complains against being the
fact that 155 lumens from 7 watts at 120V is not a "nightlight" but more
light than every 15 watt 120V incandescent I have yet to hear of?
