In September 2007, Cree Inc, announced it had demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens – an amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb – from a single R&D LED.
Cree’s achievement demonstrates continued leadership in the development of LEDs that can make traditional light bulbs obsolete.
A single-die LED, driven at four amps, produced 1,050 lumens in cool white and 760 lumens in a warm-white version. Efficacy of the cool-white LED was 72 lumens per watt and 52 lumens per watt from the warm-white device. Both LED versions operated at substantially higher efficacy levels than those of today’s conventional light bulbs. Historically, Cree’s R&D demonstrations generally have been commercialized within 12 to 24 months.
“Cree’s XLamp® LEDs are the best-performing commercially available LEDs, but we won’t be satisfied until light bulbs are obsolete,” comments John Edmond, Cree co-founder and director of advanced optoelectronics. “We’ve worked 20 years to achieve lighting-class LED performance, and we still have plenty of ways to advance the technology further.”

October 2006 - LEDtronics® Super
White XIW LED String Lights shine in a
string array that allows many versatile application placements. The String Light’s LEDs are evenly distributed over a durable powered string that is great for indoor or outdoor placement. These splash-proof LED string lights are perfect for many applications such as garden accents, tree and plant lighting, architectural and indirect accent lighting, signage perimeter lights, lighting for accenting bars, lounges, casinos, clubs, and decorative party lights.
The LED String Lights come in 100mm or 50mm LED spacing sequences at 33m or 16m string lengths, respectively. Each Super Warm White XIW PLED500 Series LED bulb glows a gorgeous warm white at 125° viewing angles at an intensity of 900 mcd while operating on 12VDC. The LEDtronics PLED500 Series LED bulb can be used on any 12VDC string light to replace the energy wasting, hot, and short life incandescent bulbs normally used to light your applications.
Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to shock, vibration, frequent switching, and environmental extremes. With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED lamps operate more than 20 to 30 times longer than the equivalent incandescent lamp! Savings from reduced maintenance costs and downtime quickly return the capital investment expenditure! LED lamps produce almost no heat and require 80% - 90% less operating power than equivalent incandescents, making them as friendly to the environment as they are to the operating budget.

Small LEDs have been all around us on our computer printers and television sets for many years.
Today's innovations in LED technology have developed processes to make much larger LEDs, which produce high amounts of light enough to power a traffic signal or a tailgate light on an automobile.
In a few years time leaders in the LED industry envision our homes being powered by LED technology, using materials that will last for 100,000 hours and run at a fraction of the energy cost.
Another environmentally friendly aspect of LED technology is that it does not use mercury, unlike fluorescent lighting. As the product lasts twelve years, disposal is less of a problem.
For the last 25 years, as an opto-electronics division, Hewlett Packard had been developing LED technology, finding ways of making light brighter and brighter.

Some LED light strips are best installed by professionals because of the extra wiring -- but some have become so easy to use that any LED enthusiast can install them.
The DIYer can install the EasyFlex strip and Cut and Click Strip. The installer can remove and move the EasyFlex strip of lights because it comes with wires already connected to them.
This is a good video about the EasyFlex LED Strips – about 9 minutes of good design and installation tips for Boogey Lights for Motorcycles. See...I'm flexible. I'm open minded. I'm a sport :-)
