    Cree A19 9.5w 60w 800lm 2700K for $13.97

    I bought my stock in the 30s and purchased more on this announcement at the market open that morning. While the margin indeed is low, it's certainly not zero (at cost), and low margins aren't a bad thing if the volume (revenue/sales) explodes, plus gives brand recognition and a boost to the...

    Best source for LED lightbulbs?

    I have an order on the way (of the 60W 2700K version for a couple bucks more) and have seen one in action. These are God's gift to man. I've loved the Philips "alien" ones for quite some time, but they simply aren't usable in a home where the bulb is visible whatsoever (even appears yellow...

    Recommend PAR38 2700K Dimmable LED Bulbs For Me

    I'm in the market for two dozen PAR38 LED bulbs. They *must* be 2700K, dimmable, and have a fairly "normal" look to them (many PAR38 LEDs have a very unconventional look, where the individual chips are clearly visible, giving a spotted appearance, etc.) I've seen quite a few fitting this bill...

    Help Me Find Cross-Compatible Rechargeable 16340s

    I'm rather the newbie with this topic and am wondering if someone can dumb this down and help me. I own a Surefire U2 purchased ~2010 (appears to be a newer/newest model). I am not interested in modding it. I've been running it off the primary CR123 batteries that Surefire recommends/sells for...

    Will LED be the future of lightings? How long it will be?

    That day has just about arrived. Home Depot is now selling Cree-based home light replacements at just $17 (if you apply some widely available discounts) per 40w equivalent bulb. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/lighting-fans/light-bulbs/ecosmart/led-a19-40-watt-equivalent-light-bulb-39632.html...

    Newbie Questions

    Thanks for your input. I am curious why you would say that those products are "passable" but the EvoLux and CR5 (linked to in my previous post) are inferior? I'm not saying they aren't - I'm just seeking your reasoning. In my research, it appears that the EvoLux light quality is reasonable for a...

    Thanks for the suggestion. Could a moderator please do this for me? Sorry for being less than ideal with my forum selection (go easy on me - again, I'm new).

    Newbie Questions

    I appreciate your help immensely, TigerhawkT3. I'm actually shocked that there haven't been more responders sharing a variety of opinions. I'm looking for all I can get here, even if you disagree with other posters, so I'd really love to see additional people share if you have thoughts or can...

    Newbie Questions

    I am new to the LED world, so I apologize for the newbieness as well as if I didn't place this in the ideal forum. Several questions: 1) What is the most reputable LED chip maker open to public investment (publicly traded stock)? CREE, or someone else? 2) In the same vein as #1, who makes...
