I figured Id throw these up, I think I am going to pull the trigger on a few but wanted to see if I could get some insight before I venture back down..

As soon as I walked in those were the ones that caught my eye, they offered the clear globes on a few of em on the shelf... but I was looking for the Cree's with a rebate.

These things look pretty sweet... 80lumens per watt, 3000k or 4000k are nice options. Clear or Frosted. That switch100 is where its at with 20w :hump:

The issue is with the Cree's, we know whats in there. So we can go look it up and pick and choose accordingly. I wanna know whats in these things. May try and contact em.

The "infinia" series looks pretty sweet too for smaller draw. 83 CRI, 2700k, 80lum/watt.

Im looking at mounting a few bases to the back and side walls, but didnt know where Pet and Fran got their long ass extensions (1'?), I wanna get those bulbs in between a few kids. but then the diodes are going to facing up and down, idk, its in the works. Ideally id like to have em coming from the top, the emitters are sitting at about 10 and 2 inside the globe. Ideas are welcome and maybe there are some things im not seeing. Sorry for cutting it short but I had already typed this once..

You are the king of random brands I never heard of.. Have you seen the feit ones? They got them cheap at Costco. Just curious


those switch have a higher cri than Cree. More even spectral distribution. You may be onto something here.

That review is almost the same as all the new cree tw reviews.. That's alot $$$$. I'd rather go Cree. Maybe in time price will drop.

^^^Yeah but they're energy star compliant so you can get a discount/rebate right ;)? Still that's a lot of lumens/watts if it's going through liquid, so I wonder if it's some be some crazy ass B-lux blue diode with some very efficient phosphors. But man, you say Cadillac of bulbs to me I'll run away from ya. Some salespeople are sooooo lame :roll:. Still it's pretty cool tech. Thanks Scotch.

Cree are energy star compliant too. Utility rebates depend on the area. In east coast and south rebates are every where. Not in Cali.
