  1. It's not really solstice without blue. by AnotherBlackHat · · Score: 1 · on The Blues for LEDs

    But without the blue, the holiday lighting just wouldn't be the same.

    -- this is not a .sig

  2. Why not use LED based lights? by colink · · Score: 2, Informative · on X10 Xmas Light Control with Pan and Zoom

    LED based Christmas lights take about 5% of the power of regular bulbs but are a lot more expensive. Given the amount of power that he's drawing, why not switch over?

  3. Re:Final Update by glassware · · Score: 2 · on Where Have You Found LED Holiday Lights?
    I didn't see any of the white LEDs available. Which products are these? The only ones available at my local store were the old school, 100 light set of red/green; and the 35-light set of sapphire blue. The sapphire blue set is the one pictured here.

    The bulb casing on the red/green lights is pretty bare - it's a standard LED stuck in what appears to be a standard set of christmas light wire. The bulb casing on the blue LEDs is the new, oval sapphire style.

    On the web page, the foreverbright guys suggest to return the set and get a replacement - I'll probably try that tomorrow.

    Where did you find your white ones?

  4. Bad question, potentially interesting answers by ke4roh · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Where Have You Found LED Holiday Lights?

    The Foreverbright site (linked from "holiday" in the intro) has a "Where to Buy" link offering a lengthy list of retailers. I haven't checked the shelves yet, but it seems you should look at those little hardware stores and drugstores rather than random department stores if you want to buy them in person.

    Nope, ain't a lot out there.

    I think many rope lights use LEDs. You should look into those.

  7. Pretty trick... by ackthpt · · Score: 1 · on The Incredible Invisible Case
    I wonder how it handles heat and static. A word of warning, when working with acrylics, fumes can be carcenogenic, also do nerve damage, work in good ventilation.

    I just ordered the Lian Li PC65USB (black) and am waiting for word of it's impending shipment. I'm thinking of putting LED Christmas lights inside.

  8. [OT] LED Christmas Lights! Yow! =) by ackthpt · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Gift Service Exchanges Online Gifts
    Ok, it's off-topic, and a bit late, but it is in the Christmas department: I found these at the local grocery store on clearance for $2 a set! LED Christmas lights, how cool is that?

    I like how they're labeled "Rated For 200,000 Hours (more than 20 years of continuous use)" Seems like just the think to jazz up the workstation anytime of the year at an el-cheapo price tag.

    Just had to share. Ok, you can now mod me to off-topic hell.
