Default Anyone moved to LED Lighting?

Thanx for the link but, it becomes very obvious that decent lighting is not
a requirement for you, as you post.

Perhaps you could turn up the brightness on your LED backlit monitor, or put
on your spectacles and read the posts before posting unrelated links. Even
if the outdoor bulb did fit the fixture above my sink the somewhere between
390 and 450 lumens at somewhere between 2600K to 8000K colour temp. and low
lux output would not fit the bill. I like to see what I am doing.

Let's face it. LED area lighting has not become a reality for humans, yet.
ESL technology may be the next answer for a few decades.

I see that Home Depot in Canada is now handling some LED bulbs with a

of nightlights or something similar. They appear in the shape of the usual
medium base incandescent shape and have a white translucent dome over the
top if them. The ratings are so poor they could only be used a
nightlights.

$30 ea.
7 Watts
155 lumens.

While there may be useful places for these nightlights, they don't look
that
useful for me. Their efficiencies are barely as good as many incandescent
technologies at 155/7 = 22.14 lumens/Watt.

I am still looking for a decent PAR30LN LED bulb that can be used over my
sink with an X-10 switch module (yeah ..it dims) 1000-1500 lumens would be
a
good brightness.


You don't know what you are asking for. Try one of these and you'll
find it is quite bright enough for that purpose:
