L-1301-180 LED Rechargeable Portable Worklight
Having Power Failure almost in every places,xxxx LED rechargeable portable worklight is the best solution ever. This type of LED is more brighter? than other lights.
We can easily assemble the LED parts by our self and using for back light purposes. Even can use it for dark places with more secure and safety.

Often LEDs are not really all that efficient.
Best choice for efficiency today is the T5 fluorescent tube light.

I just purchased a case of 36 LED bulbs, they are according to my Watts Meter running about 3 watts each, and very bright. They say they last 20 years, but we all know how that works.
I switched all our side lightning to use these, so I am sure they are much better than what we used to use.

I don't see a real downside. As prices are coming down, the economics are beginning to make sense. They eliminate most of the drawbacks of CFL's. I don't see a drawback. I'm curious to know what your thinking is.Your single source for sustainable home improvements: [URL="www.eco-merica.com"]www.eco-merica.com[/URL]Comment

I sell LED's in my store and a lot of people love them. I get a lot of people that come in and HATE cfl's. The flickering bothers them, they hate the warm up time, etc. I've had a lot of people put them in vaulted ceilings to avoid the chore of changing lightbulbs. Since we've started offering them, I've seen more interest in them than I initially expected.
Replacements for T5's and T8's however do have a much longer way to come.Your single source for sustainable home improvements: [URL="www.eco-merica.com"]www.eco-merica.com[/URL]Comment

Well I lied a bit we do use them for special architectural lighting effects, and I do see some used in Walmart Freezer cases but that is quite a special location because you can run the LED's at full rated power to get the efficiency up because they are in 0 degree temps. Try that at room temp and you get a flash cube.MSEE, PEComment
