Talk to me when it actually exists.
I get so sick of seeing these revolutionary new products that never make it to market, have a much higher pricetag, or don't actually do what they claim.
- dimitar 15y agoBut they do exist. You can already buy them. They are not cheap but they are getting cheaper. LEDs are nothing new. And they have have replaced other types of indicator lights decades ago (the lights on older computers had incandescent lamps, and if you have seen those in practical use - you are getting old). Trafic lights are already LED here in Bulgaria and I'm sure in other countries too.
- spot 15y agonot really. this company's product is still in the pipeline: "Switch Lightbulbs will be available fall 2011". there are other LED lightbulbs available, but they are more expensive. and the ones that I got all failed in less than a year.
- tintin 15y agoWell they do exist. I was actually surprised to see this as 'news'. I got one at home for almost 2 years. Works like it was advertised. It's from Pharox http://www.pharox-led.com http://www.pharox-led.com
- weeny 15y agoThese exist - but the $20 price tag is only possible using subsidization from investment funding. There are at least $20 worth of LEDs in the Switch bulbs - meaning they will be making negative dollars on each sale at $20. But that's how they make the stats look so appealing. That, and they're made of glass filled with an unknown liquid, is the reason I'm not very convinced by Switch.
