A Monster LED Array For Irresponsible Fun

Posted by timothy on from the want-for-house-and-car-and-bike-and-projector dept.

Tesladownunder writes "This huge LED is on steroids and then some. It is intended for use as a streetlight. It has a 7000 lumen output at 100W and will burn a hole in a CD case without focusing. And that's without the infrared that a halogen or discharge lamp has. Very efficient and low maintenance. Stronger than HID car headlights or a 500W halogen. Hit the site for lots of data and pics of it in action including burning and irresponsible bicycle luminosity. You'll want one to attach to your keyring, too."

    Quite fun at the office are those super-strong magnets you can buy. I keep mine stuck to the side of my computer case. Can they affect solid state drives?

    I just realized that I no longer read /. discussion threads. Same old, flaccid jokes, insightful comments quarter of an inch deep, etc .. that's what you get floating on top of the page when sorted by score. Compare that to HN for example. Good and truly interesting stuff on top, crappy mundane smart-ass commentary at the bottom.
