It's stated in strange way in the video, but I think they are referring to the correlated color temperature, not the actual measured temperature of the plasme. The light emitted from the lamp is the same color as a blackbody radiator at 6000K. Hence his comment about the light looking similar to the spectrum of sunlight.
In case you're not being sarcastic... it's a pretty big leap to say that just because there is a 250W lamp, the same technology would work in 25W package.
And besides, there are already household lamps available that provide the lumen output of a 40W incandescent with a 10W lamp... compact fluorescent.
@David, good point. But wouldn't it be even more effective if the light was more focused? Or do you think the loss in efficiency (from a lens/modified reflector) would balance that out?
I would assume that it uses a very "inefficient" lamp that emits more in the IR portion of the spectrum and an elliptical reflector to focus the radiation at a single point.
Can't check the site.. looks like it may have been engadgeted? (engadged?)
Could you just get a less ergonomic mouse and learn to use it with your left hand? Do you really need to type with one hand and write with the other at the same time?
If so, you should get that act on the road and quickly.
Guy, how much oil do you think you use in your kitchen?
Unless you are running some sort of doughnut speakeasy... I don't think it would be a (literal) drop in the bucket compared to how much heating oil is in your house right now.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
