Hello!
Has anybody else seen this? http://www.livescience.com/technology/051021_nano_light.html

Am I reading this correct?

"Then Bowers and another student got the idea to stir the dots into polyurethane and coat a blue LED light bulb with the mix. The lumpy bulb wasn't pretty, but it produced white light similar to a regular light bulb.

The new device gives off a warm, yellowish-white light that shines twice as bright and lasts 50 times longer than the standard 60 watt light bulb.

A 5mm LED that gives off the same amount of light as TWO 60 WATT incandescent bulbs?

I like it!
