LED Lighting Is The New Age Lighting
In 1879 the incandescent electric light bulb was perfected by Thomas Edison. His goal was to make electric lighting affordable to all. His goal was realized and even he would have been stunned at the results of his work. Today this form of light bulb is being replaced by new modern types of lighting.
This is where LED lights come in. They use less energy but burn brighter than other types of lighting. This is because they do not have to use filaments or gases, which is a giant step forward in technology. This form of lighting is used for traffic signals and many vehicles. An example of them being used on vehicles is when they are used by bikers.
How is it possible for a light to function without using a filament? It works by using a diode. The electrodes are vibrated by a small current of electricity. This in turn causes them to light up and provide a portable, bright and safe light.
The most important question about these lights is can they actually replace the standard forms of lighting? Perhaps they can but they do have some disadvantages. They are good for a number of uses but have not yet managed to provide replacements for every lighting need. Technology has been able to perfect these LED lights for table lamps. It just takes a 5 watt LED bulb to create as much radiance as a 60 watt bulb and not produce heat. Enticing as this might sound you may want to reconsider before you replace your lamp bulbs with LED bulbs. It could cost more to purchase LED bulbs. Plus many LED light fixtures are not suitable for dimmers, so weigh your options.
The future of LED lights is rosy. As with all the latest technology, costs will likely decrease and they will get better. On a large scale the savings often make this lighting worth it now though. Commercial LED lights are used on a global basis, which includes office buildings and hotels. Years of energy savings will counter the high price of the bulbs, as will the savings on maintenance costs. LED bulbs last around 50,000 to 100,000 hours.
With the need to conserve energy being in the forefront of many people’s minds, LED lighting fits right in. In fact, with the march of technology LED lights are likely to be the most common form of lighting in the very near future. Thomas Edison would indeed be happy with this progress.

In light of Micheal Jacksons death, who do you think will be the next death to cause this much attention?
I ask because i have read some places was like when Kennady was killed, the whole world is in shock. I've been lucky to never suffer a close death apart from my grandad when i was 4 and didnt really understand what had happened, so i've always wondered how i would react if a close friend suddenly died, or someone i look up to alot lik Stephen Fry or Micheal Parkinson.
This tragic death has shocked the world and i'm curious who you think will cause this much attention when they die? Or if even there is anyone that big around anymore?
Personally i think Billy Connolly/Stephen Fry/Micheal Parkinson will attract alot of attention on their deaths, but no where near the scale that MJ has. I think the world knew in about 5 minutes after his death, it was that fast.
Google thought it was having a virus attack the ammount of people who flocked to it. Yahoo Answeres seamed to have problems and my friend informs me Sikipedia was shutdown because it had so much traffic
