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.

  Only two. But they'd have to be very small geeks to fit in the bulb.

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.

Motion Lights by Fone626 · 2004-11-21 07:00 · Score: 3, Funny

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.

using the exact same process as flourescent lights
Is that some process where they coat the inside of the bulb with ground wheat?
it's fluorescent.

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.
