Super cool 21W bulb with an insane heatsink

Super cool 21W bulb with an insane heatsink

Sorry guys, for the lack of updates. We’ve been VERY busy looking for some new manufacturers and new products. LED light bulbs and the technology that powers them is changing so fast, I’d almost say that the ones you’ve seen online 1 year ago are already obsolete.

The biggest advance we’ve seen is with heatsinking technology. Since LED dies/chips only get marginally better, the only other thing that manufacturers can do is cluster more LED’s together, and drive them harder.

More power means more heat, so they’re forced to come up with some insane heatsink designs (they’re starting to look like computer CPU heatsinks). I wonder if any CPU heatsink manufacturers are making LEDs……

The guy you see on your left is a whopping 21W LED floodlight that is DIMMABLE and is meant to replace about a 100W incandescent flood. 80% savings and it lasts 10x longer…NICE. Price? Well, let’s see if we can get them over here and we promise you we’ll get the lowest price possible.

So stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated on our status in the hunt for better, brighter LED bulbs. What’s the most common bulb you’d like to replace in your home or store? Floodlights? Halogen or Globes? Leave a comment and let us know…

    For something that looks more like a regular light bulb and uses fewer watts, you and your readers might be interested in the new Pharox LED bulb. Requires just 4 watts of energy (!) to replace a 40-watt incandescent. Prices on this latest generation of LED bulbs are getting more reasonable too… http://tinyurl.com/d2ar8o

    I would like to share that there are cutting edge lighting solutions other than those that are not being presented as an option.

    As you probably know, the current SSL lights require more than one light to illuminate a room (and generally requires the installation of multiple new can light fixtures).
    Lambent Vision is ahead of the curve and current LED lighting standards. They offer high lumen, 360 degree, light fixtures that enable us to easily replace an existing fixture (only one) to illuminate an entire room (Kitchen, bedroom, etc.)

    What can we do to make us all aware of the vast number of lighting options that are currently available?

    I picked up a few of these at earthled:

    The beam angle is a bit narrow at 45 degrees but the dimmign works like a charm!
