![]() | When it comes to technology, almost everything is continually improving. The light bulb is no exception. From incandescent to florescent to LED, each leap in technology brings with it more efficient lighting – less power consumption, less heat, and exponentially longer operating life. Even within a certain lighting technology, said benefits are continuously improving. Take, for example, LED lighting. Last year it took a LED bulb 36 LEDs to produce 72 lumens of light while consuming 3.6 watts. This year, a LED bulb with only 1 LED can produce 160 lumens of light while consuming only 3 watts! For this review, I will be taking a look at one of these new LED bulbs (courtesy of Don’s Green Store). http://www.atruereview.com/accessori...-led-bulb.html

![]() | LED flash light is replacing all the traditional bulb in the last two years for sure. I have two of them and tossed out all the old flash lights.

![]() | Me excited? ![]() I use products that suit me on the intended purpose. In this case, LED flash light is brighter, whiter(light), smaller to carry and they are cheaper to operate. At my old age, I still enjoy camping and hunting. ![]()
