I'm still amazed people are falling for this LED scam. Sure, LEDs
have their place and they can used to great effect in certain
applications, but completely replacing older incadescent in every
way is ludicrous. You see any LED car headlights?

Yeah, but just on Audis--- what do they know?

Spotlights?
Yeah-

Floodlights?
Yeah- but it was the British Navy using them-- so probably nothing
worth bothering about.

Of course not. They just don't have the horsepower.

You're living a few years behind the times.


As for these silly overpriced head band lamps and $150 machined alum
AA flashlites, it's all bogus. Sure, they're better than total
darkness, but barely. I want some serious candlepower, not yuppie
outdoor sportsman chic.

At $10 I don't consider my headband light to be overpriced-- nor at $0
is my collection of HF flashlights.

You're free to use a kerosene lamp if you choose.
