Thanks everyone for the suggestions on the Trace C-12! The motion detector
idea is also great!
<p>As to LED lighting, I am curious about them... I have heard them touted
as the most efficient lighting available, yet there are some web sites
that suggest the highest lumens per watt can be obtained from LPS (low
pressure sodium) and Metal Halide style lighting.
<p>For all you "lamp freaks" out there, check out this great lighting page:
<p><A HREF="http://www.misty.com/~don/index.html">http://www.misty.com/~don/index.html</A>
<p>Looks like some of the best efficiencies in LEDs are in the 7-15 lumens/watt
range... LPS lamps run in the 180 lumens/watt range. Not sure about CF's,
but probably way better than 15 lumens/watt that LEDS offer. Why we keep
hearing about how efficient LED lighting is remains a mystery to me.
<p>Anyway, assuming LEDS <u>are</u> more efficient than CF's does anyone
know how many white LEDs it would take to equal the lumen output of a 5
or 7 watt CF?
<p>Thanks,
<p>TC
