Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs

Posted by timothy on from the want-some-dagnabbit-super-lights dept.

ndverdo writes "Cree just announced production power LEDs reaching 200 lumen/watt. Approximately doubling the previous peak LED light efficiency, the new LEDs will require less cooling. This should enable the MK-R series to finally provide direct no-hassle replacements to popular form-factors such as MR-16 spots and incandescent lighting in general. The LEDs are sampling and it is stated that 'production quantities are available with standard lead times.'"

    of the government banning perfectly good items, like inefficient lightbulbs and high-flow showerheads and toilets. Why not put an excise tax on them instead to discourage use?
