Default Looks like a scam

Hell, who knows? What's the rep of the originator of the information? Do a
little research.

The Light Controller That Works Like an MP3
BY Ariel SchwartzFri Sep 17, 2010

LumiSmart lighting controller

What do MP3s and light bulbs have in common? Quite a lot,
it turns out, when the light bulbs are attached to a
LumiSmart Intelligent Lighting Controller. The
shoebox-sized solid state controller, developed by Cavet
Technologies, costs $2,000, takes 20 minutes to install
(with help from an electrician), and cuts electricity
consumption by 30% to 40%.

The controller works by cutting off power to light bulbs for
nanoseconds at a time--faster than a light or ballast can
figure out. It's similar to compression algorithms used in
MP3s, where cutting out select bits to decrease file size
still maintains the file as a whole.
