Good find on the video Mike. It was very knowledgeable and I was able to learn alot from this. I was very suprised when he said that an LED bulb can last fup to 60,000 hours of light timem, and can run using only 1.5 to 5 Watts...
Jocelyn found this one for me.Most manufactures say 50,000 hours but they are so new I don't think this can be completely confirmed yet.
