The way of the future. - CB
by Collin Baxter

Its amazing how over the last few years LED technology has started to be used more widely. We have gone from Incandescent lamps with a power consumption of 100W to Fluorescent 40W
to low power energy savers 12w and now to LED lamps 4w. Its starting to make solar power an option . Well here in sunny South Africa anyway. This LED is from a string of 30
lamps that burns the whole night on a days charge, the cell is about 3” X 2” . I have replaced most of the down lighter lamps with led lamps in the house and gone from 500w to 40w consumption on those lamps.

lol Collin, you are suppose to let us take a guess. Oh well, it is Monday, so time for guessing was running down. I have to remember, it is well into Monday at your house! I love LED's the save lots of electricity at Christmas time.
