Fun LED light 2.0
Like the idea of using more LED?...
We give you broader insights as well as practical tips. What has
changed in
our second
edition? As we edit out redundant stuff, we also reduce the
number of categories. This is because the LED field has
been widely established since we started. Today, it is nearly
impossible to keep things fresh and interesting across a much broader
remit.
And this web is still home based so
sans whizbang effects and do not want to be more than that.

Really Good LED bulbs
Must have good heat management and other Clever Features
You
hear that LED bulbs are cold lights, no heat etc. Bullocks.
This
might surpise you, but
LED
light bulbs - even though some may look like it - are
not
really
bulbs.
Also, they may not give off heat
at
the light source,
but there's plenty of heat to dissipate at the base. So
good
heat management is very vital for them.
As you sit
there and think
"Hey this just might be the kind of light for me" you may find
yourself relax quickly and easily on the count that I
pre-researched so
many things for you because it will cause you to make decisions leading
to wonderful changes in your life.
With
LED light you will start changing your old lighting habits.
Bright LED
replacement spots and floods with good heat economy
Why LED
bulbs are not really
bulbs
Listen to NPR News feature podcast on Spotlight
on LED bulbs (NPR
All
things considered) at the articles

What
this site
is NOT:
Despite the fact that the word "fun" has in some circles got some
pretty raunchy meaning to say it mildly, this
site is not
for adults only. And most certainly it is not
a machine generated directory of spammy
links that you find all too many of on the net these days.
