What song is this?

[andarks]

Besides the good points people have already mentioned about this video, how can the producers show what happens to a chocolate bar and then compare it with the effects on a house, shoes, and clothing? Like chocolate is stronger than all of those examples? I mean, one usually says stuff like, "this medicine produces great side effects on an adult, inmagine what it can do to your baby".

Whoever produced this commercial seems to be an amateur...

[bestamerica]

what happen to the clock,,,

cannot see the clock without a light on,,,

LED light leave on the dot limit area,,,

normal light bulb is more spread light than LED,,,

LED is more pricy,,,

bulb is cheaper

[hitachi088]

you can clearly see that the filament light bulb lights up way brighter than the led one. they haven't even choose a normal light bulb, the one on the left is an exterior light bulb that is suppose to be at least 1feet from anything.

Hope to see more

[steamdonkeys]

6 people would like to appologize to BP.

[allgovsarecriminal]

but.. i like the warmth of a halogen lamp, and i dont melt away since im not a chocolate bunny :/

[sbergman27]

@allgovsarecriminal If you are into "warmth" your heart would probably melt for the GE Reveal CFL. Much richer than any halogen I've ever seen. And far more efficient. The inefficiency of halogen makes my heart grow cold.

[MultiIloveladygaga]

i want a chocolate bunny now.. thanks alot

[123456789Samatha]

Poor bunny.........

[imscaredofdinosaurs]

the led light isnt so bright

[LEDsIndustrial]

Funny way to demonstrate the difference in heat output between the two!!!

[jrxrsr]

Ohh how I want to eat a chocolate bunny now!!! Im sure Im not the only one hehehe

[IsagenixDoc]

Is it possible to copy this video and put it on my desktop on my laptop?

I have just recently started to rep some of CREE's products; it would be a great and fun demo video.

[wolvesrockILOVEWOLF]

save the Easter Bunnies! so glad my LED reading light is an LED (works fine have not even changed the bulb in 5 years)

[acetate90210]

Yeah, but can LEDs power my Easy Bake oven? NO!!

Game over, man. Game over.

[kreuztraeger]

@acetate90210 - Specialty bulbs will not be banned. You can get a heat lamp.

[madamerotten]

This makes chocolate animal rights activists like myself very angry.

[madamerotten]

A problem with these LED lamps is the fact that they use lower operating voltages, and therefore require voltage conversion (for example, the typical 220VAC 50Hz mains voltage converted to 12VDC). This is usually performed with high-efficiency, high-frequency step-down regulators. These regulators make huge amounts of electrical interference that often wrecks havoc with communication, audio and video devices.

[benneb07]

What it can do to my home... Heat it up in the winter.

[panadevulpe]

Sorry Cree , but this is not the smartest way to convince people LED is the future . Specially since a 6 watt bulb ( a 60 watt equivalent ) sells on Amazon for .....$60

I'm a cab driver in NYC and I put all my savings in Cree stock ( 450 shares at $55 ) , so please think of something more clever than a melting chocolate bunny .

[madamerotten]

@panadevulpe You should not put ALL your savings in any one stock. There are some competitive high-efficiency lighting technologies emerging that could put Cree at a disadvantage in the future.

[kimmer6]

Damn, my chocolate bunny melted as soon as I gave her the tennis bracelet.

[MetalxXxMayhem]

And that would be why LED's work better for growing pot. It gives the light without all the excess heat.

[madamerotten]

@MetalxXxMayhem And, if you put the pot in series with the LEDs, you can control their brightness.

[VoltecIndustries]

This video shows one of the advantages of LEDs vs incandescent bulbs - no radiated heat!

[crvebll90]

I agree regular bulbs create heat, but whats to say that the bulb on the right isnt a heat lamp? Thats exactly what it looks like.

[madamerotten]

@crvebll90 It is a type PAR38 65W lamp. It isn't a heat lamp, but it does produce more heat than the alleged LED equivalent.

[TZMSocialEvolution]

For those questioning this, the two lights are giving off the same light intensity. Look at the plate in both frames. Basically the same level of reflection. Focus on just the plate, not the over spill.

That's why you think the incandescent is brighter, because the LED happens to be more focused due to its housing, thereby not reflecting off the table too. The incandescent is wide open, reflecting off the plate AND the table, giving the illusion that it's brighter. Optics is a funny thing.

[mnenergychallenge]

The LED might be producing the same amount of lumens (visible light), but it looks different because, unlike CFLs, LEDs do not diffuse light - it is like a spotlight.

[LanceWinslow4]

Excellent, and remember heat energy from lights is wated energy.

[Discofootman]

this song is totally a rip off of "married life" from UP

[madamerotten]

@Discofootman You are right. CREE may have actually paid for its use, though.

[Discofootman]

this song is totally a rip off of "married life" from UP

[Vacantsy]

The incandescent light is brighter. LED, not so. nuff said.

[landcruiserlarry]

the added heat sure is a negative unless you live in alaska and you need extra heat. and use the same wattage when conducting a comparison test, equal wattage and the LED is many times brighter than the same incandesant and it still doesn't melt the bunny then that would be something

[fairyheli2]

@landcruiserlarry i live in england, extra heat is always needed

[hdix96]

was the music used in Amelie?

[blenderuser]

Yes I get the point, incandescent light is better because it keeps my house nice and warm.

[kotique]

notice how LED light is dim compared to il.

[welstijlfilms]

I published this video on the Dutch website WELSTIJL (1 april) Kind regards Sem Mallée

[timverma]

If you had an led of the same 65 Watts you would be able to light your entire house, and it would still not melt the bunny because it would still be more efficient and therefore produce less heat per watt than the incandescent bulb.

[stegre]

BS video is BS

[mysterialite]

what about the fact that the LED was only 12 watts and the incandescent was 65? How is that the same? I mean... I majored in art, not science, but I feel like if the numbers aren't a constant then it's not a good experiment.

That said I totally agree that it's important to be energy-conscious and eco-friendly. :-)

[tomstdenis]

@mysterialite it's all about the lumens not the watts. If a 12W LED can put out the same amount of light energy [but not UV/infrared] as an incandescent then they have a point.

Because that's really what they're showing here is non-LED [or CFL] lights put out a shit ton of UV/infrared energy.

[fuunguus]

@mysterialite

If they used a 12 watt incandescent there would be a huge difference in light output of the two. The point is to show that incandescent light wastes energy, mostly in the infrared spectrum which turns into heat when it hits a surface hence the melting. Only reason LEDs hasn't replaced incandescent in all homes is because of the quality of the light, it's not nice on the eyes. Quantum dots will change that, and soon everyone will be using LED's in their homes.

[Jordn284]

@mysterialite The wattage is irrelevant. the lights are the same number of lumens , which are a measure of Light output. so.. they are the same, just not the same wattage. the reason it takes so many more watts to make an incandescent bulb have the same Lumens as an LED or even a CFL is because of the amount of heat that is produced and wasted when the filament has a voltage placed across it. LEDs also have a voltage that 'Reacts' with the diode and creates light, just without all the heat!

[madamerotten]

@mysterialite The amount of light produced is said to be the same for different wattages.

[oni8245]

ummm super markets use florescent lights that produce almost no heat so hows it the same?

[yeah568]

The lamp on my desk can melt wax and hot glue. I'm just saying. :D

[lovesthecomma]

People need to stop thinking this is literal when comparing it to clothing and produce (DUH your shirts and lettuce aren't going to MELT). Heat affects all things differently! The point is that your lighting shouldn't waste energy through heat, but rather use all (or almost all) its energy for its actual purpose: LIGHT.

[YamiChippy]

I would've preferred the experiment used lightbulbs of the same wattage.

[GroovieJones]

@YamiChippy I kind of think the point is about the same light for a lot less energy, because the difference in energy is what melted the incandescent bunny.

[vlogbrothers]

@YamiChippy it would make sense to use equal wattage if the goal of a light was to use power. But the goal of the light is to produce light. Even though the LED bulb has a much lower wattage, you can see that it produces the same amount of light.

[fotoespectra]

@vlogbrothers i love your answer and how it sounds.me

-p

[fuunguus]

@YamiChippy

That would show the amount of wasted energy better yes, cause the LED would be superior in emitting light to the 12 watt incandescent.

[AshleySueAllen]

Hilarious video with a great point. I never felt you were suggesting my bananas and shoes were all going to melt, but I def got a great chuckle while thinking about my a/c costs this summer as I have lamps & fixtures loaded with incandescents.

Point made, and LEDs are the winning investment! Short run costs = big time long run savings!

Thanks for the laugh!

[borg389]

What's it doing to shoes and clothes? Keeping them warm?

As for produce, they don't sit 2 inches below the light bulb, nor are they generally incandescent bulbs in stores around me, but flourescent.

Yes, it's good to use light bulbs that don't generate extra heat, but please don't try to suggest that the extra heat is going to melt clothing.
