This is kind of  off topic ........but I know that there are a few LED heads  out there

I saw  a  different LED light at walmart
It is a GE  10 watt
I didn't get it because it was $40
It looks like   it could be 4 2.5 watt  luxon stars


I was looking for  more information  on that light I found this page
http://redbirdled.reachlocal.net/category_s/38.htm
It looks to me like  lighting  with LEDs is  starting to come of age .

On the  second page  I found this
300W LED Street light
Our Price: $2,219.00
300  1 watt cree LEDs

it almost makes me want to build  a very big JT

My Latest Creation . 48 1 watt leds , well 47 and 1/2 . It was so bright it blew one so i had to crank it back a bit .
1 aa battery at 10 ma compared to 3 aa wide open amps  . a 200% improvement or more if i do say so . I love light s . I must have Mexican in me Standard jt with one of my special Germanium's and a small toroid from a PS. This sucker is as bright as a 60 watt light bulb . It was a good find at the flea market this morning for 3 bucks!!! I turned a 3 dollar light into an Expensive  energy device . Im running it and see how long she goes ! I'm also using Bedini recharged non-rechargables . I have recharged this one all year long . I got 4 of them and i use them in the camera i take pictures here with .
