    Looking for suggestions on outdoor LED motion/security lights

    ^^^Agree with brickbat. Get an old-school incandescent motion-detection security light fixture and retro in some LED PAR38 bulbs. Then you'll have a MUCH wider range of choices in CCT, CRI, beam angle and brightness. Plus, if the bulb fails prematurely you can just change it out instead of...

    Best 3-way LED?

    From what I can see, there is a lot more selection now in 3-way LEDs than there was a couple of years ago. And by "a lot" I mean more than just one or maybe two choices. But the specs on even the newer models are, IMO, still wanting. Most are 2700K and I like 3000K, and there are no high...

    Is It Time To Switch To 4 Foot LEDs Yet?

    I was thinking about trying out the Cree 4' High Output T8s for it's 5 point bump in CRI vs our current Philips fluorescent T8s in our kitchen, just to see if it matters enough to bother anywhere else in our house. Energy savings isn't a huge deal and light output just needs to be in the...

    Looking for led replacement bulbs

    Thanks. How about the Philips 7443 RedVision LED? Would those fit and are they any good?

    Looking for led replacement bulbs

    Is there a chart or list anywhere that tells me whether or not these work safely in the brake light of a 2008 Honda Civic LX sedan?

    Philips bulb incan recommendations?

    Re: Philips bulb incan recommendations?4726 Speaking of P21/5W bulbs, are these GE Nighthawks any good? Any kind of improvement over stock '08 Honda Civic bulbs?

    DIY ceiling-bounce lightbar

    If that shelf does indeed span the master bedroom to it's bathroom, doesn't that allow foul odors to drift into said bedroom? Not to mention steam.

    Ideal color temperature for indoor lighting

    Not in this case. We currently have or once had in our home, in various forms and technologies, a handful of old-school incandescent bulbs, 3000K PAR38 halogens in the exterior floodlights, CFLs in 2700K, 3500K, 5000K and 6500K, and LEDs ranging from 3000K to maybe 6500K in the night lights...

    Ideal color temperature for indoor lighting

    Maybe, maybe not. My mom loves 6500K everywhere in the house. She says "the 'whiter' the better". I've shown her 5000K as compromise since the rest of us like our interior lighting a little warmer, and although she likes 5000K more than 4100K and much more than the 3000-3500K I like, if she...

    Ideal color temperature for indoor lighting

    Rare or impossible? I had an Energizer table lamp that was 3200K that died an early death and I've been trying to replace that same CCT ever since, to no avail. I've seen you mention this particular CCT before and although I've searched I can't seem to find a standard A15/19/21 LED bulb...

    ceiling fan candelabra base LED bulbs= EXPENSIVE!

    I was actually responding to Anders since his fixture sounds like a loser all the way around. But yeah, WebHobbit, I feel you since we have one ceiling fan that has three oddly-positioned E12 based bulbs which are further restricted by the glass shade/bowl that goes right under the bulbs...

    ceiling fan candelabra base LED bulbs= EXPENSIVE!

    ^^^Sounds like it would be simpler and maybe even cheaper in the long run to change out the fixture itself for something that takes medium based bulbs.

    Has anyone tried Polaroid LED bulbs yet?

    I'm trying out a couple of the A17/325 lumen ones in our fridge. So far, so good. It's "omnidirectional" but the beam angle isn't quite as wide as the incandescent it replaced, so depending on how the light bulb arrangement is in your fridge, you may or may not notice slightly darker areas...

    Energizer 3AA / 3D 360 degree Area Lantern

    I have what I guess you'd call the 1st gen of this lantern. It looks exactly the same except for a little keychain flashlight that can be removed from the top. The high mode of the one I have is a krypton bulb which puts out a nice, warm light but the run time is probably a fraction of this...

    Ultimate Survival Technologies 30 Day Lantern, Favourlight Model PL20C3D002

    Re: Ultimate Survival Technologies 30 Day Lantern...Made by Favourlight...? I bought a UST 30 Day Lantern(glow in the dark version) for my mom to use as a bright night light in a hallway that doesn't have an electrical outlet where she needs the light to be. It's on "LOW" setting for about 7...
