LED is weird light. I have a couple of head lamps for fishing that have
9 separate bulbs, that one is bright enough to see your line at night.
For camping, I have a crank type LED with 8 bulbs, I love it. Aside from
the whirring noise bothering some campers here and there, it never needs
batteries, used it all season and never had to worry about it.


I got a feeling everybody will get used to them, and we'll end up with
them lighting our houses when production costs come down.
I've heard they're real efficient.

There's nothing "weird" about LED light. It makes for great nightlights,
and staircase lights.


I'm sure some light spectrum analysis could qualify the "weirdness."
But I won't go there. Personally I like incandescent.
Warm.
Want to argue vacuum tube versus transistor sound?
You can find somebody to argue with.

During the recent snow storm the guys and gals on the radio where
lamenting the deficiencies of the LED signal lights due to the fact that
they are not self cleaning due to their lack of heat.

Traffic lights? There was some discussion of that recently on the
autos.tech group. And a link to a pic. They might have to redo some
of those. Maybe heaters that turn on in the winter, or sense snow.

Or...winter work for the brave and cold resistant, getting up in those
bucket trucks during blinding snowstorms, to wipe off and apply
no-ice-stick-um to the traffic lights!

When i was young, and brave, my father got me a job working on one of
those bucket trucks. Except, i not only had to keep the traffic lights
clean, but had to knock the ice off of the electrical transformers. It
was a hell of job, but the pay was nice, and it was a good job during my
summer breaks from school.

Yes, I like warm white as opposed to the cool or daylight lamps in my
home. As to the sound of vacuum tube, I know, I have both here.
