[time-nuts] [OT] Ikea Lamp

[paul swed]

IKEA and $39 per lamp. Sounds like some pretty good margin in the sale.
I guess these LED things will be main stream and save the world when we see
them at walmart for $6.

On my bench I converted to 60 watt halogen lamps compared to the 100 watt
lamp.
Equivalent color spectrum to the traditional lamp also. For as many hours as
that light is on. I suspect I am saving some money in the long run.

Curious are these lights truly white or do they tend towards a traditional
lamp spectrum.
Regards
