JUST WHEN YOU CHANGED OUT ALL OF YOUR BULBS TO CFL'S...

LED's, or Light Emitting Diodes, are the result of  a semi-conductor technology that is replacing the CFL (Compact Flourescent Lamp).  Much of the manufacturing of LED's has been in Asia, and now it appears that there is an opportunity for the U.S to lead the way in the next generation of lighting products.  Breakthrough technology, with high manufacturing quality standards will be required, and there will be a preference for manufacture close to home.

Currently used for under-cabinet and recessed can lighting, as well as in newer autos, we will be seeing much more of this technology in everyday places.  The Beijing 2008 Olympics featured red, blue, and green LED chips in the Bird's Nest Stadium and Water Cube.

Light output is measured in lumens, and by color temperature (indicated by degrees Kelvin).  If you want a crisp white light, look for lighting in the 3500- 4000K range.  Look for the Energy Star qualification.
