LED Lamp

01/21/2009 13:29

Not that I advocate the end of Christmas, but one benefit is the dramatic price reductions of Christmas lights, specifically LEDs.  I managed to find the saturday supersaver price on a set of white LED lights for around $10 (although I heard the 75% off sales had them down to $3).  My plan is to make a lamp.  Here is what you need.  1) A set of LED Christmas lights 2) a light socket adapter 3) and a lamp and shade.  Bunch the LED lights up with a rubber band and plug into the socket adapter.  Balance the shade on top and you now have the equivalence of about 60 watts of light for the bargain price of about 4 watts (flourescents are still at 14 watts).  Plus, no mercury and 60,000 hours bulb life.

Seth Jaffe

Are you on Google looking for Seth Jaffe? Or perhaps Seth E. Jaffe or even Seth Elliott Jaffe? You have found me in Houston, Texas working at NASA Johnson Space Center. Seth E. Jaffe is an aerospace engineer, photographer, and law student. Seth E. Jaffe and Seth Jaffe attended Casady High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma graduating in 1989. Soon after he attended Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. He graduated in 1996 from University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Aerospace Engineering.  He also attended Rice University were he studied Portuguese.  This little write-up has served to help Google and all of the rest of the crawling search engines find me so that I may turn up in your web search for me as opposed to the actor or the environmental attorney--both of whom have stolen my name. Happy hunting.
