    Where did the LED Mini Skirt thread disappear to?

    Re: Where did the LED M*** S**** thread disappear to? Eggzactly, Paul. Leaving the "eye candy" issue aside, this represents one of the earliest public attempts at wearable LEDs for the masses. Well, this is the third time one of my threads has been deleted. Three strikes and I'm out of here...

    Incandescent on a Chip

    IEEE and NEMA working on spec for dimming/flickering of LED based light sources

    Do LED bulbs really draw less bugs?

    New research on this issue. Basically, the paper says more research is needed at the individual insect level as there is no blanket solution. One point of interest is the statement that source lux is not as important as is the difference between the lux of the light source compared to the...

    1600 Lumen Cree A21 bulb

    Additionally, the OP mentioned the bulb failed in a ceiling fixture. If this fixture was even partially enclosed, I would attribute the failure to high temperatures within the fixture.
