Autumn is definitely here and winter will follow closely along. These things are immutable.
But why-oh-why is it that when driving around the area, you can spot so many vehicles with defective headlights. It seems to average about one per mile travelled. I even saw an Ambulance with only a single dipped beam working. Surely they can't all be "Sorry Officer, it must have just blown" |

Maybe so!
 However It's still not 1/10th of a horsepower. 1hp is 0.7w - Being 700w. And we've already discussed that it's about 260w which is more like "just over" one third. Facts, are important. -------------------- :p

So to say (on the above figures) that headlights use 1/10 of a horsepower is pretty accurate. The only person who has mentioned "260w" is you. Facts are indeed important, so is accuracy in reading and comprehension. |
