Yes, that is indeed a beautiful Jewish Menorah, but I was talking about Christmas, the celebration of Jesus Christ's, The Messiah's, birth.

LEDs are the only way to go. I concur with Philo all the way on this matter. I'm doing it and it's working great. Every week there are more LEDs coming out and the price does seem to be coming down, and they give off the same glow like incandescent lights. They are designing them to do this. Not hard to do.
Small experiment to do. Take 2 of the same Mag lights. One incandescent bulb and the other a new LED bulb. Leave them both on. Walk away. You will soon see how much longer the LED will burn for, and the incandescent bulb has drained the same D sized batteries ages ago.
I like the meter experiment that Philo mentioned. That display should be in every HomeDepot.
Edit:
Fixed.

Klimmer: Go here : http://www.tinyurl.com and fix that mess.
It is leaking out the sidewall like radiation out of an LED!
EDIT: Thanks Klim!

WTF are you talking about Captain Sidewall. What Radiation from LEDs?
I simply can not grasp how outdoor enthusiasts like climbers can be so ignorantly unconcerned for the environment. Or did FOX NEWS tell you to be so stupid?

LED's are the future. they sure are.
LED's have a hard time working in traffic signals back east cuzzz of the cold temps. they have their plus and minus!

^^^ Hey Pyro did you make the right choice or did CMac spank you? ^^^
Coming from you "Chicken Scratch" is a high compliment. Still swallowing Medussa's man seed?

LED Lighting
Canopy Airport Parking uses efficient LED lighting in Indoor Valet, Covered Self-Park, and Open Air Parking. Lighting is a major source of energy consumption by parking facilities, and the LED lights contribute substantially to the overall energy efficiency of Canopy.
Testing by the Luminaire Testing Laboratory, Inc., demonstrates that these lights provide exceptional focus and even distribution, with virtually no light directed upwards, and almost all light directed to parking areas.
Canopy’s Open Air Parking lights are rated for an even longer life-span – around 130,000 hours! They offer exceptional targeting, and are approved by the International Dark Sky Association, because of their low contribution to light pollution.
If all parking facilities in America were converted to LED lighting, the resulting energy savings would be equivalent to the electrical use of 1.3 million average households, according to a joint study by the International Parking Institute and the US Department of Energy.
Conventional outdoor lighting is commonly high-intensity discharge, a type of arc lamp using electricity to heat metal salts into glowing plasma. LED lighting, in contrast, uses current passing through a diode, causing electrons to release photons. It’s the same underlying technology used in modern large screen televisions.
LED Lighting has a number of advantages:
• LED lights can save up to 70% in energy costs compared with conventional lighting.
• Directionality: LED lights put light where it’s needed; they reduce light pollution. LED lighting offers less glare and a more uniform level of light, reducing hot spots and dark spots.
• LED lights do not use Mercury – no toxic waste for landfills when they are discarded.
• LED lights have a very long life – 50,000 hours more; at least 4 times conventional outdoor lighting lifespan. They won’t need to be discarded often.
• LED lights have great performance in cold weather; contrasted with conventional lighting efficiency drops with temperature.
• LED lights are pleasing to the human eye, providing an accurate rendering of color and improving security camera imaging.
• There is no warm-up time; LED lights come on instantly!
• LED lights have a very long life – up to 100,000 hours; and up to 8 times conventional outdoor lighting lifespan. They won’t need to be discarded often.

As usual, blurring goes for a personal attack instead of getting into an intellectual discussion. Poor blurring, he can't win either.
No, hypocrite. I already told you my opinion on this.
Personal attacks? I haven't been dropping what you've been dropping around here.
Dipsh#t.
Do you know what is becoming apparent about yourself? You are mean, hateful, and totally intolerent or differing ideas. Be well in your world, because it's gotta suck.

China controls 97% of the key ingredient found in LED's. That is not something I feel comfortable in supporting.

Hey BlewBoy there are only around four taco posters who have earned my and almost all other Taco's derision because of their bald faced lying. And though I disagree with him on almost everything FartFuk is not one of them.
Turn off FOX and go buy some LED lights because you are in the dark.
And yes it sux to be me right now trapped in bed 12 hours a day. You could not handle what I am dealing with little boy.

Love Gas, as a artist and lighting designer....
Is that what they are calling electricians these days?
I don't remember a wire pulling class in art school.

Goatboy get over yourself. I am light years ahead of standard electricians.
I have a resume of work for many of the best climbers around to validate my credentials.
And what do you have? Why do you think you are entitled to dictate what I post?

Two words on LED's: SCAM.
Um... isn't that one word? I'm pretty sure it is.

From Philo:

Anyone notice the big lies above put out by the pro LED sales force? LED's are smelling more and more like a conspiracy orchestrated by the Chinese, unsavory tradesmen, and a frothing HD sales staff.

Rather than spewing uninformed opinion why not try disproving even one of those points.

If you want something to really be concerned about, LEDs aren't one of them. They are great in so many ways.
I didn't bring it up first. However, there is something seriously wrong with "Smart Meters" being forced upon us by the energy industry. The more I learn about "Smart Meters" the more dumb they become and I'm starting to hate mine as a result.
Perhaps this discussion needs its own thread.

Because you'd get the same response as Anthropomorphic Global Warming prophets would give you, "The scienece is settled, and there's a consensus!!"
Meanwhile, everybody hates the death-glow of those PITA CFL bulbs and LEDs! Leave me alone and gimme a f*#king bulb, bra!
