Yesterday I bought one of those nifty new white
LED headlamps for an upcoming camping trip.
Shelly and I went on a night hike up in the
hills to try it out. I was so very impressed
with how much light three little LEDs
can make, while using so very little power.
Acoording the the advertisement, they are supposed
to run 200 hours on three triple A batteries.
Nowthen, it seems a logical extention that white
LED lighting should replace all incandescent and
flourescent lighting for home use. A good amount
of light could be made using only 5 to 10 watts
instead of the customary 40-60. The fixtures
would be small, long lived and utterly unable
to cause a fire.
Anyone here up to speed on white LEDs for home
lighting use? URL?
