Google's investing in bright ideas.
Dean Kamen, the man best known for Segway, was at TEDMED 2010 talking about all sorts of cool things.
The one that's closest to being here today is a new LED lightbulb that features lighting technology created by Cree, and produces 450 lumens from a power draw of just 7 watts. It'll retail for $25 and be sold door-to-door through Kamen's FIRST youth program.
Several hundred thousand of these bulbs are already produced, thanks to Google's support of a $3 million investment. It's not quite the Google Lightbulb, but now we know the search giant wants to help you find your stuff with better lighting.
25 bucks WHAT?
RispondiEliminacool invention though
Interesting, I wonder if they ship overseas... Also, linked from my blog. I hope you don't mind!
RispondiEliminalol Google does some random shiet :P
RispondiEliminaNice, that's pretty cool :)
RispondiEliminaWait what???
RispondiEliminaI'd actually like one just for the hell of it. Lights fascinate me.
RispondiEliminai like LEDs
RispondiEliminaAwesome, I am glad Google is looking to support more efficient products. yay!
RispondiEliminainteresting and impressive
RispondiElimina$25 for a lightbulb?
RispondiEliminasome awesome lightbulbs
RispondiEliminajinx: 25 bucks for a lightbulb that uses next to no electricity and will last you years. LED bulbs practically last for fucking ever
RispondiEliminaInteresting:)
RispondiEliminathats pretty legit
RispondiEliminaonly 450 lumens? that's not very bright. a normal 60W incandescent puts out about 800 lumens and a 100w incandescent puts out about 1500 lumens.
RispondiEliminahopefully this is the road to bright led bulbs, though
leds are a smart investment
RispondiElimina$25 for a lightbulb seems expenses but I guess they will last and save power.
RispondiEliminaNice post, keep it coming :)
RispondiEliminaI still have to get around to replacing all my bulbs with LEDs.
RispondiEliminalosts of power for just 7w , very cool , and google has got all kindas shit under them atm....cool post bro

RispondiEliminathat's a smart investment to make
