Why not buy from a ruiser?

Great web site! Link to very interesting technical info on LED's.

I wish I could buy from them but theirs are mounted in a thick cannister
intended to be lights on their own. What I like about the ones Steve
originally posted about is that they will fit right into my existing
light fixtures which are fairly large for just two bulbs.

The blue light worries me a bit because I really don't like what comes
out of LED flashlights.

Does anyone know if blue light is the opposite of red light as far as
night vision is concerned?

I don't think I would try this if I only had one bulb in my fixtures but
being able to bring a standard bulb on line to boost output and dilute
the blueness makes it seem reasonable. I'm still going to wait until I
can take my LED flashlight down in the cabin and see how it feels.

I wonder if the amber LED's are more pleasant light? If just faintly
amber, they might be.

I've heard that the reason white LEDs seem dimmer is that the light is a
very narrow wavelength - just white with none of the other colors mixed
in.

Adding an amber or green - or both? LEDs to the mix might make a more
comfortable "white".

YMMV

Just get a Color Kinetics controller and a RGB fixture and you can
choose one of 20 million different colors.

FWIW I have a headlamp that is switchable between blue-white and red
LED's. The red are much easier to use at night as they increase
contrast in the view. The blue-white is kind of a wash.
