I've heard of an led home lamp coming out soon...power savings will be incredible,almost No heat.greater life,etc......the only problem is the projected price is $65 each.
Well,that had my wheels turning for months.I was Xmas shopping to today so I bought the parts needed to build my own prototype....
I bought a 100 led light strand for $15,a small chrome ball to mount the LEDs in,and I used a base of and conventional bulb so my prototype will screw right in.
After some study,about 33 LEDs are In series with a resistor.I used two of the three sections unevenly mounted.....as you can tell by the pic......
Turned out good.the LEDs aren't bright enough.so ill be on the look out for brighter LEDs to use.....thought I would share..eventully I plan on building a house full and save some on my electric bill.....
