New LED Backlights For LCD Screens

stuffman64 writes: "LumiLeds has a new LED backlighting technology based on their Luxeon Star LEDs. It is meant to replace the power-hogging CCFL lights currently in use. Benefits include longer battery life for notebooks, less weight, and a larger color gamut (up to 130% of the NTSC standard). The release can be found here." I wish I could hook up one of their evaluation kits to my machine right now;) The same site has quite a lot of LED-related information throughout.

For those who don't feel like building their own flashlight, check out CMG's Infinity Task Light. The LED lasts forever, and it boasts 40+ hours of continuous use on a single AA battery. I use NiMH batteries, which work even longer. The light is bright and rock-steady. I have a blue-green one that is by far the best camping light I've found - whether for reading in a tent or for late-night walks.
