akaman, you're being to paranoid brother,,, Thx for the reply ledtester, you're absolutely correct in that assumption lol, I'm off the charts paranoid mainly because i just moved here and don't no anything about the area,the neighbors...ppl can be very funny acting to new ppl moving in. Plus i have a large family that i don't want to burden with any trouble with the law.Also i did change every bulb in the house to cfl's, so in assuming you're correct about the savings i should be able to run a 400 watt system with no worries about a higher electric bill. Now all i gotta do is read up on flouros and cfl's and make a decision on which way to grow. Thx bro much appreciated
