I think the right way is not to try to simulate the original bulbs using LED, perhaps this can be
right only for the phase of “transition”.
You can also design LED lamps, working from the beginning to use the light source LED, getting the best.
We are working at this theme for a couple of years, take a look at:

Very interesting guide. I found a lot of information here about this. The only pity is that this is all still so expensive.

I’m still unclear as to why LED’s produce heat in the first place. Heat indicates energy loss but LED’s are supposed to be the most energy efficient. Do CFL’s produce similar heat?

Thanks for the comment littlegreenblog. Agreed - there are a TON of vendors out there that have no idea what they’re talking about and inflating lumen output in an effort to stimulate sales. We’re in it for the long haul, and what we’ve found to be the best way is to just SHOW people side by side photos of what they’re replacing - thus showing - light dispersion, color temperatures etc. I guess what they say is true - a picture is worth a thousand words!

Hi Jeff, you raise a very good point on comparing brightness. Some producers try to wow us by better specifications to think that a high lumen figure means a better brighter light. Of course they conveniently leave out the fact that its over a 90 degree dispersion, or the colour shift is so high that the light appears blue. As usual there is a race to dominate the market and unscrupulous vendors will use all kinds of tricks to catch the consumer. Yes, let’s press for a standard that is clear to understand and brings the consumer into a better place of awareness. In the meantime vendors such as Eternaleds play a valued role in establishing consumer confidence in an uncertain market place.

James: The liquid is similar in composition to paraffin oil. It’s completely non-toxic - we HAVE broken one before, and it’s simply a matter of wiping it up with a wet towel and carefully disposing of the glass..

Thanks for the commet LightTest Labs. I agree. The “antiquated” ways of measuring light are simply not suitable from CRI, to lumens - it’s just not a good way to compare LEDs to traditional light sources further compounding the misinformation that is out there!

Jennifer: Very true and thanks for the comment. We’ve heard many of our customers complain about the exact same thing. On top of the mercury content that is a neurotoxin that fluorescents contain, LED are definitely the wave of the future and where things are going!
