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'?)
