that's pretty cool... I wonder what the price tag on one of those will be. $500 per bulb?

Nice to see you back Carbon... :)

    think about the energy saving possibilities. if every warehouse and/or street lamp in north america went from HID bulbs to these, the amount of energy saved would be enormous.

    Fantastic!

    It's this kind of thing that gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we won't blow ourselves off the planet...

    We can give one to Street, and he can be a Streetlight...    ::) ::)

    Thank you -- I'll be here all week...try the veal...

        The City of San Diego has over 40,000 street lights in operation.

        I bet 100 million is pretty close.
