A total of 150 LEDs are currently being powered by Dr.S's prototype? Jeez! That sounds like an impressive count in its own right. My uneducated guestamate would be that 150 powered LEDs is generating somewhere around the equivalent amount of light as a 50 - 100 incandescent light bulb - where because LEDs are being used nowhere near the same amount of electrical power is being consumed. Another thought: 150 lit LEDs might be a sufficient amount of light a family in a remote village in India or Afghanistan might need to carry on into the wee hours of the night. It's encouraging news. How many LEDs need to be hooked in order up to disprove the external radio frequency theory? Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
