Consumer LED Lights  E-mail

consumer_ledsThinkGeek has some LEDlights for ordinary residential use on clearance.  If you've wanted to try outan LED light and see how well it works, these are inexpensive enough to experiment with.  The cheapest one is only $22.  They note, however, "These bulbs are generally not intended as a complete replacement for incandescents -these bulbs are lower output but more focused."
 
This 18 LED light bulb makes an excellent highdefinition reading light. Perfect to help you not feel guilty about leaving an accent light on all night. Run it for twelve hours a day for a whole year at a cost of about 80 cents. Makes a great reading light.
 
The complaint from BoingBoing is that, while green products are manufactured for long-life in order to minimize resource use, the technology is improving so rapidly that these become obsolete before their useful life is ended.  We don't think that's a credible excuse.  When, in a few years, you upgrade your LED lights with newer and better ones, these can become closet lights or porch lights or find use inother places.  Anticipation of forthcoming technology is no reason not to do something now.

I've purchase all three and I'm trying them now. They do through less light so you have to use them selectively. I have to replace flood lights often and using led spotlights with incandescents is working for me. I've reduced the amount of power I use and I have to change spotlights less often. The Vivid plus works well in a small lamp with a lamp shade. The Vivid is adequate from reading but you have to point the light directly at what you're reading. I'm happy with them and they are good to use along side compact florescent lights.
