This technology is problematic for two reasosns: 1) its not good to encourage contact with live electircal outages and 2. It is offensive to short people as they will not be able to reach them

Laugh if you will but you can call Snow White and the seven dwafs that anymore with subsequent advertising becsause its offensive to midgets, here in the EU and plenty have died by light socket -- try living that down.

I'd much rather have all the benefits of an environmentally friendly bulb (which cannot be dimmed) and the adantages of this new brighter, maybe multi coloured at the flick of a switch bulb all controlled by voice commands by my PC or atleast at a terminal such as a tablet or my watch.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/

I don't have exact numbers right this minute, but I did some research about the whole LED vs. Flourescent vs Incadescent thing.

Flourescent is still the best way to save money (in the house). LED's while somewhat cheap, still aren't as energy effecient and as cheap as Flourescent.

Now, the reason why LED's clusters are used in traffic lights is because those clusters are still much cheaper then the 120w or so lightbulb that are normally in traffic lights.

The biggest problem LED's face in the home is the fact that they give out directional light, therefore not making them practical for room lighting. Now, there are globe type lights with LED's, but they don't emit a lot of light.

In order to produce enough light as a "60 watt" lightbulb, you would have to have an enourmous amount of LED's, that would end up costing more than it's worth.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/

High time for some fresh ideas. Thanks Philips for this move.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/
The future of home lighting is laser based. Lasers are much more efficient than either fluorescent or LED. Coupled with a diffuser and a generous sprinkling of quantum dots, a laser based light will let you light your home for pennies a decade. And when you accidentally drop one and break the diffuser, you can extract the laser diode and use it to tease your cat.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/05/philips-concept-led-bulbs/
- rectilate??? WTF? 'rectify' is real parlance
- rest of your post??? WTF? so Yanks can apparently probe mains outlets thanks to kiddie friendly 120V AC infrastructure designed by MotherCare?
