  Lightbulb Logo

  Not really about the article... just noticed the light buld on the left of the screen and wondered if you should switch it to a CFL to help the environment.
  
  Just a thought.

  No Way

  Go the extra mile and get an LED bulb. It may cost more to render now but the graphic will last you way longer in the long run.

  Paul is right, I put CFLs in my house because it was cheaper to use the sockets I already had. Apparently this light bulb doesn't need a socket to burn - go with the LEDs.

  Do LEDs have dimming ability? Might be something to think about if you redesign the image. CFLs can't be dimmed if the idea isn't that great.

  Excuse the on-topic post!

  People can also run rosetta@home, which actually does turn up useful information on a daily basis.
  
  We now return you to that.. .confederate light bulb thing, already in progress.

  More Power

  CFL, lousy. LED, weak. What you need to do is go all the way and use a sustained thermonuclear reaction.

  Re: More Power

  Have you seen the Philips/Lumileds Luxeon LED??? Bright, but still a bit expensive.

  Too many off topic posts - take them elsewhere. Blogs are cheap.
