The Power of the Sun in a Tic-Tac
The interest specs :
Luxim Bulbs - 140 lumens/watt
LED's - 70 lumens/watt
Incandescents - 15 lumens/watt
Inside the bulb, it forms a plasma (so says the video) at 6000 degrees Kelvin (that's one spicy-ah meatball), which is as hot as the sun. If I was a kangaroo, I'd jump on this in a second as it sounds like the next great thing. Having over $40 Million in VC funds behind it definitely helps. As great as it sounds, it seems almost too good to be true. I mean the technology seems kosher, but is it something that is commercially viable at the moment? If they can figure out the crazy heatsink issues and somehow put it into something the size of a lightbulb, I'm on the next train to LuximLand. I will be following this like a hawk and see what other info I can scrounge up in the next few days. Stay tuned!

It does sound like a leap forward in lighting technology.
I'm not a scientist (only an LD) but how we suddenly can go from a bit of hot wire, through illuminating semiconductors and straight into The Sun in pill form puzzles me.
Keeping an open mind at the moment.
Best wishes
