Maybe the best way for people to understand this and I think we owe Sheryl Goldberg for clearing it up years ago--- If you have four 100 watt lamps in your living room, you do not have 400 watts there. You just have Four lamps with 100 watts each. That may make more sense to some. BUT the nail companies insist on saying it is a 27 or 36 watts when in reality it is just a 9 watt X 4 bulbs!! ;-) Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
