Replacing a burned-out light bulb might be a bit confusing for many U.S. residents this year. As the United States transitions from the once ubiquitous incandescent light bulb to more energy-efficient forms of lighting – such as LED bulbs – the Federal Trade Commission is changing the way light bulbs are labeled. Lumens will replace watts as the primary indicator of a bulb’s brightness, which means consumers will need to relearn how to shop for replacement bulbs.
To prepare for the incandescent phase-out, the FTC has worked with manufacturers of LED lights and other types of lighting to develop a label that will allow consumers to easily compare different types of bulbs. Resembling the nutrition labels on food products, the new light bulb labels will include information such as: (more…)
LED light bulbs are becoming more and more prevalent for both industrial and home use. Just look at the latest Cree LED lighting project in China – it features a million Cree LED bulbs.
You fumble with your keys as you walk through the shadowy parking garage. Images of ruthless carjackers, kidnappers and thieves run through your mind. Your eyes dart left and right as your brain jumps into “fight or flight” mode. You wish you had stuck one of those LED flashlights in your backpack – an emergency flashlight would sure help you feel safer! Once you reach your car, you furtively glance in the back seat or under the car to make sure no one is hiding there. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, all is well – you get into your car and drive away, letting out a sigh of relief as you leave the parking garage.
However, we all know this situation is rife with danger. Parking lots and garages are isolated, dark places where criminals know that their acts will likely go unnoticed. Indeed, one inmate on death row explained to security strategist J.R. Roberts that he targeted Wal-Mart parking lots, saying, “You just go there (Wal-Mart) and if you park, you can just watch people pull up. Like some people, they will put stuff in their trunk. And if you sit there and watch the people, you know which ones put stuff in their trunk or got stuff in their cars.” This criminal began his romance with Wal-Mart parking lots by stealing purses, returning packages he had stolen from trunks, and so forth. Eventually his crime record reached a crescendo when he kidnapped, raped and murdered a young mother, being so bold as to abduct her from a Wal-Mart parking lot in broad daylight. This criminal represents the two major crimes that are typically carried out in parking garages: car break-ins and assaults.
With the holidays approaching, it’s a common time of year to focus on gratitude. There are so many things in our lives that make them easier, more efficient and safer. One of our favorites is our high-quality line of LED flashlights, which bring comfort and illumination to people all over the globe.
Sure, we may not be bringing about world peace or ending hunger, but LED flashlights are making the world a better place. We’re thankful that the LED flashlight is replacing traditional flashlight models, for several reasons:
The frequent use of gadgets is a fairly modern trend, following the rise of the Industrial Revolution and modern technology – i.e., the mass production of small, complex objects. While we might consider the stopwatch as an older gadget, most of the gadgets we use these days are much more advanced in design. (Take multi-tools and LED flashlights, for example.)
Indeed, our reliance on, and fascination with, gadgets is so powerful that some people become addicted to obtaining the newest and most cutting-edge of everything. We often (unnecessarily) use them to accomplish simple tasks that could easily be achieved with our own two hands. So why the fascination with gadgets? To answer this question let’s take a look at the psychology behind gadget collecting.
Any LED flashlight enthusiast who does a little research online will probably come across the term “heat sink” at some point. While this isn’t usually the first feature people consider when shopping for LED flashlights (lumens, anyone?), a good heat sink is actually a pretty important component of a quality LED flashlight.
A heat sink is typically a small aluminum, brass or copper pedestal that goes underneath the LED bulbs in your flashlight. In LED flashlights, light output is directly tied to the heat sink’s ability to dissipate heat. Here’s a look at what it does: (more…)
Halloween is coming up, and there isn’t a better time of year for monsters. One of the scariest things about monsters is that they seem invincible – they’re hard to kill and even harder to defend against.
As you stock up on stakes, silver bullets and chainsaws (never underestimate the power of a chainsaw), don’t forget to include a few LED flashlights and a headlamp in your monster-fighting kit. Not only is an LED flashlight critical for helping you find your way in the dark, but it can actually help improve your defense against all manner of menacing creatures
