Haven't run ours up in a while, must fish them out.

A tip for you, when entering the description, put an empty line at the very start by pressing Enter before typing any text. This will give some space between the title and the description.

Power Factor of 1 isn't too surprising when it's just the halogen running. But I was still impressed with how long it stayed there
