Some LED bulbs are out now, but I’ve only seen them in 40 and 45 watt outputs. I have the 40 watt bulbs in my bedroom ceiling fan and they come on instantly – unlike some of the new CFL bulbs. The lower watt outputs take some getting used to, but since they only use 1.5 watts each they are mighty attractive.

Hey Vimal,
You might be interested in reading this post on making your own solar at home.
For anyone asking if there are at-home tests, we’ll keep our ears open and let you know if we hear anything about that.
Anyone already doing LED installation able to actually show a study of how much this advancement in LED would save your actual clients?

how big would these be? i hope they arent like those tiny leds where you need an array for them to achieve proper illumination in a space. these would be killer though. especially since they dont flicker and have close to proper color temperature

Think of maintenance savings. How much labor would be saved replacing the spots and accent lighting in 20-40 foot high ceiling lights. Do it once every 50 years. I dont like the 40 high man lifts and working around obstacles is a time killer and a maintenance nightmare. Bring em on. Hey would they be 115 volt or what. WOuld be really sweet if you could wire nto a 12 volt PV solar system.

I would take 60 years over 900 hours any day.
