Re: Long Live the Incandescent!

[John M <2ac16mo@xxxxxxxxx>]

There hasn't been that many new products in the LED home lighting
products that I encounter here in the sticks, but I'm also a
flashlight fanatic - and there has been some really impressive
products introduced over the past couple years.  My latest flashlight
is an Olight M30, 700 lumen blaster!  This flashlight "feels" like it
puts out as much light as the 1,000,000 CP lights from the sporting
goods stores.  It seems like ever other month they double the last
record for output.  I'm still of the opinion that LED will be the
light of choice in the future for many applications in our homes and
automobiles.  While I'm not happy about the narrow beam of the LED
lamps in my bath, I recognize that had I known about these lamps I
could have planned the lighting to work around the lamps
shortcomings.  A couple extra recessed housings with LED lamps would
give me the lighting I want and the wattage is so low a few extra
lamps is nothing.
