Response to Marc re LEDs

After reading Magda Havas' remarks on dirty electricty and CFL vs. LED
bulbs, in which she says:

"Alternative light bulbs are available that
> are much more energy efficient than CFL, do not contain
> mercury, do not produce radio frequencies or UV radiation,
> and do not make people sick. Unfortunately these bulbs are
> still too expensive for residential use (CLED lights
> produced by www.realuvcorp.com)"

...Mark asked:

"So, is this paper saying that the only good LED lights
on the market (from an ES/health standpoint) are those
sold by www.realuvcorp. sold by www.realuvcorp.<wbr>
better than all the other LED lights on the market?"

It is not at all clear to me why she threw in the reference to that
company, Mark.
Personally, I am waiting for LEDs to come down in price and be
available in a warmer color than the harsh blueish white. Meanwhile,
I am still using incandescents.

This may sound stupid, but are LEDS the same as Christmas lights?

Regarding lamps, and LED, as well as filters, the latest issue of *het
bitje* september tells something about that.

There are Christmas lights which use LEDs for light, but there are
also larger bulbs which can be used elsewhere in your house. So
far they are too expensive and too dim to be popular, but they
should improve in the next several years.

Marc

Most Christmas lights are regular bulbs.

I did buy an LED bulb and it only lasted a couple months...
