[pure-silver] Re: cheap LED safelight

the technology for white LEDs is still relatively new,
as is packaging them into AC applications.  i think
they still don't give off a whole lot of light, but they
are very energy efficient and run cool and last for a 
long time.  i remember when they first started coming out
around 1999 there was a screw in replacement for a 
10W-equivalent bulb which cost $99.

i use a lot of compact flourescents around the house, not
because i am "smug" (as in the south park definition)
but because the kids leave the lights on for months at a
time in the playroom of the basement and i am too
lazy to keep changing them.  the CFLs floods cost about $10
or 2-3 times an incandecent.
