Anyone tried or using such lighting?


I've been using LED flashlights for 4 years now. *Like them a lot. *My
incandesent lamp supply is still going strong and will probably last
several years before I consider LED or flourescent. *I have one bulb
that is over 30 years old and still burning.


I have an LED headlight and tail light array on my bicycle.
They are bright at night.

Red, yellow leds are more efficent than the white ones by a big
margin, the white ones ive seen are bluish, but my led flashlight is
the best I have had and only 5$ for 9 leds.


There aren't any real white LEDs. Those are blue ones with a chemical
that glows yellow.
