The first LED flashlight that I had gave off a weak blue light, it's only saving grace was that it was small, and the batteries lasted forever. The one I presently use at work is about 4 inches long, with a 3/4 inch body and about a 1 1/4 inch head. It is as bright or brighter than a car headlight, makes a nice clean white light, and the 3 v lithium batterys last about 3 hours.
The technology is changing even as we post.
So, if we stop posting will technology stagnate?
The Goodyear blimp uses over 7,000 such lights. They call it the LED zeppelin.
Rocks,
excuse me if i missed it but, i'd like to find the lumens/watt ratio in there.....
I thought LED lights were cool, so I bought one. It was supposed to be the equivlent of a 100 wat bulb
All it is good for is a night light.
But I still like the tech. And I think, given how fast the tech has moved over the last 5 years, that we might have something reasonable in three or four years. But I won't be an early adopter.
Interesting point here. So you 'survivalists' are all touting the great aspects of the present incandescents. Yet, if there is a major catastrophe that takes civilization a couple of decades to climb back up from, you are going to be out of light, while the people with the LEDs will still have usable lights.
Or you can just have the government mandate the purchase of the new technology.Interesting point here. So you 'survivalists' are all touting the great aspects of the present incandescents.

Obviously you don't get it. In a free market society when someone is attempting to replace one product with another the replacement product has to be as good if not better than the old technology in functionality, not just savings, estimated or actual, money or energy.
In this case the lumens need to replicate or exceed that produced by the current (incandescent) technology for people to consider such items as viable replacements. If I wanted candle light I'd buy a box of candles, they're cheaper.
You can advocate saving the planet all day long but that alone won't sell the product to the vast majority. Make it work the way people want it to work and they'll sell like hot cakes.

No thank you tovaritch.
My restaurant's dining room is lit by LED and CFL 50/50.

There's a little restaurant down the road that used to be an elementary school. The guy turned the gymnasium into the dining room. He's got it lit with strings of white LED Christmas lights. It's pretty cool.
Positioned over tables and spaced in walking areas. CFLs hang over the tables.
The issue is not if LED are "good enough" to replace incandescents - it's who should decide: the government or the consumer.
All the Government has done is drive more job offshore and made a simple household item much more expensive.

What I'd like to do is replace my halogens with LEDs but again there's the lumin issue, I need strong light where the halogens are, night light brightness won't cut it.
I have started to see prices dropping quite a bit now on the LEDs.
