     I doubt very much there is anything you can do about it. If you're
lights are dimming that much it points to very serious wiring problems, I'd
even say it might be dangerous leaving it the way it is. Computer's
generally don't suck up that much power, a laser printer might since it does
use a heating element for the fuser. I suggest you contact an electrician to
see what can and should be done. TTYL
