I will have to wait till I get my next bill to find out if it is all true, but it was enough to make me want to run my lights for many hours a night.]]>Dec 20th 2006 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 20th 2006 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/
That's not exactly commercialized pricing, marketing, or availability... more like they are being built individually in somebody's basement.]]>Dec 20th 2006 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 20th 2006 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 20th 2006 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 20th 2006 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 21st 2006 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/Dec 21st 2006 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/

The term volunteer means that you are giving your time away freely, BC Hydro will not be paying them for their time as they volunteered.]]>Dec 21st 2006 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/I got the impression that Colin wasn't saying that BC was Central ... I assumed HE was from Central Canada.

Makes sense now doesn't it? ]]>Dec 21st 2006 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/
The amount of wattage required was surprisingly low. I'm a competitive road cyclist and have a Cycleops PowerTap on my bike. Easy spinning around 20mph/30kmh is typically in the sub 200W range. On the reindeer bike, we were barely pushing any resistance. I'm guessing it was closer to sub 100W - really minimal. A couple of guys thought you needed to really crank it and they blew the fuse on the unit!

Just goes to prove how energy efficient the LED's are. There were a lot of them and it was pretty effortless. ]]>Dec 22nd 2006 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/canadian-billboard-gets-pedal-powered-shows-off-led-efficiency/ I do sell LEDs for all your needs. Everything!
I'm doing a bridge in Tacoma, Washington that will be the "Cats Meow" with color changing LEDs on the spans. www.NarrowsBridgeLights.org Enjoy!
