Screw-in LED Floodlights
Anonymous Coward writes "This company claims to have the first LED flood lights that you simply screw in as a replacement for your old bulb. enluxled.com are also claiming it's cool enough to handle, more damage resistant, longer lasting (50,000 hours) and only uses 22w to produce twice the light of a 100w bulb." And hideously expensive, but you never have to change them.
....does it take to screw in an LED bulb?
:-)
yay
I thought Amish people didn't use technology, since when are LEDs not technology?
Be cool, trendy and enviromentally friendly like students want to be and get these leds at the price of a weeks drinking money per bulb and also the loss the main heat source in their house.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Do they flash when accessing your hard drive, or toggle on/off pressing CAPS LOCK? Otherwise, no good for us lot here...
The only problem is the kid with a slingshot will still be able to take a single light out. You will never be able to completely get rid of the problem of having to replace of just one light.
I've got flood lights on motion sensors. The idea is to drive off the theives from stealing stuff around my house.
With these LED lights my stuff would be further protected by having the light itself worth more than anything else lying around worth stealing.
Hmmm, maybe I should get motion lights for my motion lights.
shoot a couple kids with slingshots and that problem will go away.

What an incredibly cool word! And to think that as an American I am stuck looking at my rearview mirror.
Spock, bring up the image in the retrovisor!
What? That is definitely not a sentence.

Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
Are religious fundamentalists allowed to be quiet types who don't get in your face? Is this possible?
Don't mess with me, English. We're even reading slashdot these days.

Is that some process where they coat the inside of the bulb with ground wheat?
it's fluorescent.
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
1) When a flourescent bulb fails, it stops giving off light completely. Usually and LED light will only have 1 led fail at a time. Given theis, you don't have large areas of darkness and don't have to replace the bulb immediatley when a part fails. LEDs fail gracefully.
I finally understand the doom 3 lighting scheme...
For those not in the know...
In a flourescent light, UV from the arc hits a coating that converts it to visable.
In LED's, IR is doubled in frequency by a Q cell to make UV which then hits a coating to comvert it to visable.
Only the last step is the same. The first step is NOT the same.
The truth shall set you free!
No, that's a fluorescent light. A flourescent light probably passes a high voltage through ground wheat powder in a vacuum or something.
