    • A straight-forward and smart read
This is a little book that contains a lot of information. I appreciate its brevity because I was able to finish it over the weekend, but I came away much better informed about the latest lighting technology and why it's important. It also gives some background on the history of the incandescent bulb and CFLs, which is necessary context if you want to fully understand today's technology. The language isn't overly technical, but it's not dumbed-down either; it presumes a savvy reader who keeps up with technology and current events in general, and does a good job of breaking down key terms at the beginning of the book so that you have a solid foundation for further reading. I will be interested to see if there will be any follow-up to this book, given the rapidly-changing environment. Perhaps most importantly, there is also a lot of practical information in here, even on things as seemingly-basic as how to buy a lightbulb, and how the choice you make can save money and electricity. It seems that the book is aiming to arm consumers with as much information as possible, so that they can make the best-informed decisions for their homes and offices. ... show more

    • To basic
Format: Kindle
Pretty basic, thought there would be more to this book. It would be ok for someone just starting out to try and understand LED lighting

    • A GOOD INTRODUCTION FOR NOVICES
I was tired of constantly changing burnt out spot flood lights in our kitchen. I had used CFL lights in many of our other lamps and greatly reduced the problems of short life of conventional incandescent bulbs. However, I did not have a good way to dispose of the bulbs which contain mercury. Therefore, I was interested in finding a better solution for replacing old incandescent bulbs. I had been using a LED night light in our bathroom successfully for several years. After reading this book and its review of various bulbs, I ordered a bunch from Home Depot. The color of the CREE LED flood light matches warm white of our older bulbs. ... show more

    • Sorry, this should not be called a "book"
If you have ever gotten an instruction book that begins by investing multiple pages to what an electric wall receptacle is, you get the idea of the simplistic and totally unuseful information this book contains. I hate to leave negative reviews but this "book" should be thumbed through and placed back on the shelf. ... show more

    • Concise intro to LED's
Format: Paperback
This nicely produced 58 page pamphlet illustrated with black and white photos, is authored by the manager of Geek.com and ExtremeTech.com, an enthusiastic technogeek who writes in a clear manner about both the science of LED's and their practical applications. The book provides basic info on LED's for the general reader, plus all the technical info for those who take the authors suggestion for hands on learning with an LED kit. More than enough to jump start readers into the rapidly evolving world of LED's, and get them into the hands-on DIY mode. ... show more

    • LED info to know
Format: Paperback
It has good information, but not the information I was searching for.

    • Helpful
The book itself is informative and easy to pick up, but it left me pretty blase about the subject. I think the big takeaway for me is that LED lighting will likely be replacing incandescent and CFL bulbs, but nothing is ever going to touch the color of a good old incandescent. That was depressing enough, but there's also figures on how little the typical homeowner will save each year after the significant investment of the LED bulbs themselves. Seems like something that makes sense for businesses, street lights, airports, that kind of thing, but I'm certainly not rushing out the door to fill my house with these at this point. ... show more
