LEDs are delightfully efficient
Homeowners can enjoy many benefits by using LEDs. The light bulbs are long-lasting and provide consistent, high-quality light output. Also, the bulbs use considerably less electricity than other types of bulbs so a home can be lit tastefully for a fraction of the cost.
"Consumers have told us that they've been disappointed with many LED bulbs to date, because of the poor quality," says Yong Cai, product manager for Philips Lighting Canada. Philips on the other hand, only offers the highest quality LED bulbs, exceeding consumer's expectations because they are so easy to use and last so long.
It can be difficult to know how to choose the right replacement LED bulb. Right now, one very popular use is to replace a 35 watt halogen light bulb in a lamp or overhead pot light fixture with a 6 watt LED bulb, like the AmbientGU10 from Philips. Your lighting retailer will be able to give you additional options for the replacement of other bulbs in your home.

Melting Glass Experiment Surprises Scientists by Defying a Law of Electricity
LONDON - A team of scientists working with electrical currents and silicate glass have been left gobsmacked after the glass appeared to defy a basic physical law.
If you pass an electrical current through a material, the way that current generates heat can be described by Joule's first law. It's been observed time and time again, with the temperature always evenly distributed when the material is homogeneous (or uniform).
But not in this recent experiment. A section - and only a section - of silicate glass became so hot that it melted, and even evaporated. Moreover, it did so at a much…
