Cool. Been waiting for someone to get this to market. Gonna try them. Thanks.

Yes, good scoop. I read a review somewhere that recommended the Insignia available at Best Buy and I've been meaning to try one, but keep forgetting. I can also recommend this Philips bulb, almost as cheap as the Cree and also at HD, though it's a top-half output type. Just as good or maybe better for the down can where I put it, though. I imagine HD will have both to demo side-by-side.

Like the move to low flow toilets and higher CAFE standards for cars, other Big Gummint mandates resisted by Real Amurrikins, the dishonest incandescent light ban claim is becoming more shrill by the week. And as you state, there are drastic efficiency improvements to be made.

In the matter of another scientific breakthrough you will surely want to know about, my son just came racing into my office, iPod in hand and earbuds dangling, yelling "Mom, mom, I just found out how to use my head as an amplifier!"

With that, he crammed an earbud up each nostril, dropped his jaw, threw back his head, and sure enough, I could hear rap music clear as a bell.

(We have a 529 college savings plan in place for this one, in the likely event he should fail to earn as many scholarships as did his older sister...)

I can not wait to torment my sisters through their children with that. Thank you.
