I bought an LED bulb today for my frequently used reading lamp. It's
rated at equivalent to 40 watts and to last 46 years. That's about ten
times what I am likely to last. The brightness is good and it comes on
instantly. It can also be used with a dimmer.


I was just talking to our electrician about those, he's been selling a
lot of LED lighting lately and the only bug so far is failures
apparently being caused by dirty power so to speak--spikes and surges
and noise. He's looking at selling whole-house power conditioners as a
result. I expect to replace our CFLs with LED within a couple of years
once the price is more reasonable.

I know a guy who's built up quite a business replacing florescent tube
lights in parking decks with direct drop in LED replacement lamps and
he's doing a great deal of business. The owners have decided it's a good
return on their investment.
