Gee Hammer, I was hoping for more content about LED lighting, less politics. Can't avoid politics on the lounge though hah.
There's already a lot of LED's in places that make sense, like traffic lights which are always on. Little unexpected things happen though, such as in winter the stoplights aren't warm enough to melt snow-- so people are sent to desnow the traffic lights! Still cheaper than paying the power bill and cost of replacement (including disruption to traffic infrastructure / economy due to downtime).
I too am impressed by cree lighting. I've been following them on and off, and I'm glad you pointed out the A19 form factor available! I've been waiting for those for a long while. I'm glad they're finally available. I have some CFL's currently, but all my handheld lights are LED's. I'm taking a look at their website, and they also have full spectrum 5K available as well. I must've missed that in my initial reading of your post--Daylight spectrum.
Oh, and the best price I've found is at home depot
14 USD per when rounded up. There's 6 packs available too for a slight bulk discount (only 3$ though).
