    Nope, LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. A bulb uses a glowing wire to provide illumination.

    I think this thread is proving the truth of the original post.

    But they want to be able to make them as replacements for all sorts of bulbs (or bubls ). That's the whole point--we'd all save tons of energy & therefore beaucoup $$$$.

    It could start whole new bulb discussions about the quality of the light, and how bulbs just don't have to be changed as often, etc.

    This means, of course, that we'll never run out of things to post!

    LEDs are commercialy available as replacements for regular bulbs. We're using them in landscape lights,fountains and water gardens. A Google search shall bring enlightenment. :grin:

    Dont forget that the etymology of the term "bulb" comes form the formed nature of the glass housing that maintained a non-reactive environment for the filament to glow.
    Given their shape, a LED might also be considered a 'bulb', though it operates on a different principle than the incandescant lights that started the term.


    (this thread reminds me, did you ever have a discussion online over the proper use of the terms 'drill', 'bit', and 'drill gun'?)

    I'd like to go on record here to say that I'm a little sick of all these "Johnny-come-lately's" claiming to be using Light Bulbs.

    Unless it's utilizing a either a carbon filament or a carbonized bamboo filament with an average life of 40 hours, it isn't a true light bulb.

    It's a skirt.
