Default Looks like a scam

Is anybody here familiar with this? It looks like a scam to me.


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.
