Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).


LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

I read about this as well! I read that even the environmentalists express concern that most of the pollution in Australia comes from coal fired power plants and banning incandescent light bulbs will only help just a little bit. Then with the mercury in CFLs being released into the environment, the small reductions from the coal fired plants just becomes bogus.

This is a crazy world we live in. ::)

It's seems like everytime when somebody introduces an unfair bill, other people follow their example and it just creates problems. I have to say that this latest proposed ban sounds like another joke.

Those lawmakers need to get a life. ::)
