CREE-LED (3 watts) household LED light bulb - very energy efficient and beautiful

[HorizonDelta]

?? Well....

[hristijank2]

i have a flashlight with cree led 3W... its alot better when u use it in a flashlight xD

[distinctavcom]

All DC LED residential lighting system by LumenCache will be shipping 1Q12. 7+ year warranty (will probably be 10+ after we get final QC lab test results back). It's not the LED going bad, it's the AC drivers.

[zishansharif2001]

fuck this music



[dwburdette]

I just use 60 watt incandescent light bulbs and call it a day. I know the luminescent may be the same but the frequency of light matters just as much. I like the warmer look of incandescent.

[huixera]

cool

[martijnenco]

does really no one's known the bad side of it?

[hawkermustang]

@Doug3445 The one I bought was just junk bro. It was not even bright. A 15 watt bulb was brighter than that thing bro.

[aftrmkt]

we should totally be on DC....

[cooleyalex]

@aftrmkt

AC is easier to transfer long distances. They tried using DC. Did not work well.

[aftrmkt]

@cooleyalex : ABB built the first 200-mile, 20-megawatt DC line in Sweden in the 1950s. And today were talking upwards of 7000megawatts - transcontinental DC lines happening. Many commercial industries are already being converted to DC or ACDC hybrid grids. Did you know that a typical server has a bigger carbon footprint than a 15mpg Suv? thats bcuz of the continuous AC-DC conversion/powerloss The demand for DC is continuously rising. DC from renewable sources is the future's protocol..

[tehn00bpwn3r]

6 month warranty? It should be life time!

[henrique773]

thumbs up if you like Bossa nova

[turtle79070]

why am i watching this on my day off...

[okseos]

@turtle79070 OMG thats exactly what i thought.

[thlampcompanybaldoc]

cool stuff but we do it better

[SirSparky28]

led's suck they don't last more then 500 hours yet wait for quality to go up... 6 months warranty... 24 hours x 31 days x 6 months = 4464 hours... WTF?? they are good for 100 000 hours? where is the warranty to back up that claim? will not find it... so don't buy them

[Marshall1174]

CFL owns these. Buy CFL for maximum bright at low energy usage. Buy LED if you want a dim light that barely lights the room.

[UnderManlac]

@Marshall1174 Better yet, buy incandescent light bulbs. They light up the room with a warm light, and are dimmable from the cheap ones to the expensive ones. There is no mercury in them. If I were to go to energy efficient bulbs it would be LED ones. They are more efficient and run with virtually no heat radiation. They are even safer for the environment than CFL's. You can get proper lighting if you buy the good ones. Dimmable CFL's are way too expensive. Long live incandescent bulbs!

essa musica e brasileira

[venom751998]

they are better LEDs from EcoLux or something (whatever the name is) but its really bright (I have 2) and I already have 5 Luminous LEDs and other CREE LEDs. The CSM-360W puts out 3600-6500 lumens!! 2 times (at max current) brighter than a 35-50w HID! Price is however very expensive. WAIT A FEW YEARS MORE!!! STICK WITH THE CFLS UNTIL LUMINOUS LEDs CBM AND CSM ARE AVALIABLE FOR MASS PRODUCTION

[dontpunchmeh]

i wntd 2 shoot myself when i heard this music

[zevn7tp]

What brand of bulbs are these? I need 40 and 60 watts. How much and where? Thanks

[madamerotten]

The problem with many of these mains-operated LED lamps is that they use a rather noisy switch-mode power supply to derive the low DC voltage for the LEDs. Some of the ones I've tried create complete havoc with audio and camera devices.

[pgenat]

Это чудо! Ёпт!

[bajaman52]

Take not that there are no forums on eBay about product reliability that I know of. Just comments on shipping and order fulfillment. I have bought many different led bulbs on eBay and they have all failed very soon. I do not know any of the sellers advertising here. I am just relaying my experience. Maybe the SMD type leds are more reliable.

how about daylight twister bulb

[zaphodb777]

Make sure you have a whole-house surge protector before using these.

One good spike through the power line, and a few LEDs will short at first, and overdrive the rest to an early death. You sometimes can watch this happen on traffic control signals without Metal Oxide Varistor spike/surge protection.

LEDs, especially the blue and white LEDs (which are actually blue with a phosphor scintillator coating) are very sensitive to forward voltage across the junction. And even more so to back voltage.

[dying2l]

@TheDiddlysquat that is the old school heater and even then they are optimized to create heat.

Light bulbs have been known to melt wires over time and is one of the leading causes of house fires.

[dying2l]

@TheDiddlysquat do you own a light bulb company? LED is as close as you can get to sun light.

[dying2l]

@TheDiddlysquat Lol standard light bulbs are a very inefficient source of heat and I seriously doubt it produced enough heat to lower your heat bill. If it was then you need a new or cheap electric heater.

[HallPassExpired]

@dying2l last time i checked standard lightbulbs use most of thier energy to make HEAT.. not light...

[vention4wh]

Can we get LED lights that don't play this weird foreign music? Other than that they seem pretty cool.

[WSFrankM]

@vention4wh

It's called Jazz, and unless you live on Mars you'll realize it's not foreign.

[vention4wh]

@WSFrankM

Lighten up dude. It was a joke.

[OldAknot]

Every LED replacement lamp I have purchased in a store has died or dimmed long before the warranty expired. Absolutely not worth any energy savings. Out of 8 bulbs only one is working after 6 months and it's dimmer that it was originally.

[airste172]

In fixtures that use decorative incandescent bulbs, these things look ridiculous as they stick out further and kill the appearence of any artful proportion. Decorative lighting fixtures are quite expensive and for whoever has them, there was a reason for getting them. It was appearence... which is shot to hell by these bulbs.

[kamilklosowicz]

well, music is quite nice :) ;)

[garagecrap]

yeah but they give out shit annoying light.

[aopdjasldksa]

@TheDiddlysquat Install better insulation, it'll save you money in the long run.

[joojicf]

this music... whyyyyy???????

[MrSimonAegerter]

@joojicf lol aqua de beber

[GroinStabbingPro]

That's just silly buddy. The heat generated by those bulbs is cost ineffective. Your furnance will heat better and for cheaper.

[lastick56]

what was the song used? :)

[hawkermustang]

I bought one of these expensive dim LED bulbs, It is supposed to last for years though, well it stopped working today with less than 100 hours one it!

[HighQualityLEDsale]

@hawkermustang

Well, then you did not buy it from HighQualityLEDsale. They not only of high quality, they also come with 6 months warranty!

[hawkermustang]

@HighQualityLEDsale You are right, I did not buy the LED bulb from you people. The bulb is made by Lights of America. A six month warranty would not help me, because I have had the bulb about 9 Months. I had it in a back room lamp and hardly ever used it. 

[Ninjapenguin707]

@HighQualityLEDsale Wait, but if it's long lasting and high quality, why do you need a warranty for that short of a time? Sounds like your trying to add more bucks to the cost.

[barrybob32]

@HighQualityLEDsale only 6 months, really, laptops come with more warranty than that, phones come with more warranty than that, if you trusted your own products youd put a bigger warranty but obviously do not,

ive lost faith in this technology, incadescent ftw

[madmax2069]

@barrybob32 incandescent lights sucks, they use way to much power for the amount of light the produce. i go for the Fluorescent Energy Efficient Light Bulb. so far 3 years strong and not a single replacement yet. plus they come in the warm white (identical to what a incandescent light produces). they produce way less heat, and consume much less energy then a incandescent light, Its capable of producing just as much if not more light then a incandescent light does. LED lights don't last long.

[mattg889]

@madmax2069 Um, no, Good LED lights will last longer than you, They are expensive and harder to find though...

[barrybob32]

@madmax2069 you probably hit the 500 character limit basically trying to tell me that you dont like incandescent, hope you had fun

[notabook]

@HighQualityLEDsale Only a 6 month warranty on an LED bulb? WTF? Most CFL's come with a one to three year warranty o_O

[iPlaymeta1]

@HighQualityLEDsale please do not advertise. a 6 month warranty on something thats supposed to last 10 years is useless. and seeing that you are a foreign seller (not that I'm racist but I fix improperly made products that come straight out of chinese factories for a living) if you are going to provide a warranty, do some torture testing to see how long they will actually last before trying to sell them.

[ocnenjitram]

@HighQualityLEDsale the light of leds is (almost) never from good qualitie (in comparesing with the older light bulbs.. with al the colours of the light spectrum in it.. led just have 3 colours what makes together white or something near white..

[JML857]

It is the heat buildup, these bulbs need air space to cool for extended life

[jeffxu1234567890]

@hawkermustang Thats because you overdriven it

[hawkermustang]

@jeffxu1234567890 No I didn't. I just put the bulb in a lamp in a back bedroom. About the 20th time I turned it on it did not come on. However, I did not buy the bulb from these guys. I'm just saying keep your receipt. The bulb lasted about 9 months, but it was on for well under 100 hours.

[nrdesign1991]

You can see here that you need many many LED bulbs to replace a single 40 Watts bulb. Fact.

[henningkarbstein]

@nrdesign1991 That really depends. For many low power-LED's (like regular indicator-LED's) your statement might be rightt; but there are others.... like these CREEs ;-)

[killerob666]

the song is great...bossa and lightbulbs go together like THAT!

[tonyred12345]

wow you got so many views from showing your lights

[Piscivorus]

I never put light bulbs out in the open. I either put them behind panels that diffuse the light or I point them away from the center of the room and reflect the light off of walls or ceilings or boards with flat (not shiny) white surfaces.

[kingfiresprite]

where do you get it? i live in canada.

[OoBreno13]

The sims musics? HAHAHAHAHA

[fjnobre]

Brazilian music, stupind asshole . ¬¬

[OoBreno13]

@fjnobre What are you talking about? I'm from Brazil (Fortaleza City) and I know this is brazilian music, I'm just saying that this sounds like The Sims music :)

[eshneto]

Se você é brasileiro e conhece a música porque não fazer o comentário correto sobre ela ao invés de confundir quem não sabe do que se trata?

Apesar da grosseria do sujeito, o seu comentário foi digno de pena!

[YokoYummers]

@OoBreno13

its in brazillian.

-facepalm x2 combo-

[OoBreno13]

@YokoYummers I know, i'm Brazilian. I was just kidding because it sounds like the sims' music. :P

[darthbandon1]

I have LEDs all around my house they are 1.8 and 2w the 2w cost about 2 dollars each. They give pretty good light but must be used in settings where you have more than one bulb.

[BCPCX]

e essa musica brasileira de capoeira no fundo? hahaha foda!

[paranormaalutrecht]

really really uuuuuuuuuuugly desing ( no shiney glass with a teint, and UGLY COLD AND PAIN-ON-THE-EYES light.

[mraffiliat3]

Do better then if You can, don´t whine.

[MasterTxJ]

Wtf don't buy them then, and I'm sure you could put them behind a filter screen and achieve a more worm colored light.

[centervilletn]

i love astrid gilberto...awesome music...

[ozisme]

Can I find the same bulb but 220V ?

[gilberda]

@ozisme Yes, I've found some on ebay
