Any device which generates light is going to generate heat. That's an inescapable principle of physics. The thing is, with a traditional incandescent lamp, most of the energy you put into the device doesn't generate light -- it goes directly to heat. For LEDs and CFLs, a much higher percentage of the input energy goes into producing light. You'll still get heat from the reflector and lnes, because neither are perfect. And for both LEDs and CFLs, you get some heat from the electronics. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
