Re: [CGUYS] Light Bulb Life (Stewart)
The 60 watt light bulb that they make a cost comparison with has a light output in the rage of 700 lumens. It puts out a whole lot more than the 30 to 60 lumens of the 2 watt led that it is compared with. Energy saving is obtained as much by reduced light as by increased efficency.

Any indication that New Jersey or other states will have incentives to switch to LEDs? $35 at C. Crane is prohibitive for a light bulb--I see they have one on sale for $15. I've been working on LED lights for outdoors, using small solar panels with rechargeable batteries. They're fairly easy to make, especially since they're being used for viral graffiti and instructions are online. I haven't seen instructions for making wired LED lights for indoors yet, but expect to see that soon in Make Magazine. Betty The state of NJ changed over every traffic light under their control to LEDs. As you suggested, the cost savings in power and not having to constantly change bulbs paid for the conversion in a year. It was one of the very few intelligent things the state has ever done. As the cost of LED's comes down, we are going to see more and more use of them, where it is appropriate. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Light Bulb Life (Stewart)
Actually the new technology is for LED bulbs. Supposedly less power consumption and much longer life. They replaced two traffic lights in town already with the new LED bulbs and they are brighter and cleaner looking. Many of the top of the line models of cars are using LED technology for taillights and Brake lights. Stewart At 07:46 PM 4/11/2007, you wrote: Well, not too exciting; but just a little exciting. Many years ago there was an inexpensive night-light sold that put 2 bulbs, 7 W each, in series. It still gave enough light for a night-light, and it didn't have or need a switch. The cost of electricity was low, and the life of the bulbs exceedingly long, so they were on at all times and I never forgot to turn on the night-light. Of course today we have solid state light detectors, circuits, and light sources; so the same function is achieved and the night-light is on only when it's dark. I don't know how the cost and lifetimes of the old and new technologies compare. Rev. Stewart A.

Link for a source of LED light bulbs. http://www.ccrane.com/lights/led-light-bulbs/index.aspx More expensive than a Compact fluorescent was 10 years ago; But it evens out with the cost to run them being negligible and the savings from all the standard bulbs that don't need to be changed. Plus these are dimmable. On 4/11/07, Rev. Stewart Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually the new technology is for LED bulbs. Supposedly less power consumption and much longer life.
