PN, NOPE!!! I measured the draw myself, don't trust specs. Draw was 20-24W. It has an ambient light sensor. The only time it was 30W was for the first 1/2 second it was turned on. It quickly drops. My challenge still stands.
EDIT: I have a thread about this here somewhere. Can't find the thread but here's a quote from me on the testing, "Startup watts is 36.7 but quickly settled to 22.5W. It ran as low as 20.3W while watching a movie. This was with lights on but at night. A pitch black room got 20.2W. A fully lit room by sunlight raised the draw to between 26.7 to 27W. I bought it from Walmart online."
