On: The Biggest Thing Since the Light Bulb

[beachstartup]

i use one of these to walk my dog. it's ridiculously bright and it's laughable when you see someone using a 'normal' flash light which basically just looks like someone using a zippo lighter to light their way.

bought 2 for the office and 1 for the car too. mine use regular AA batteries not the expensive high voltage rechargeable ones.

edit: this comment is about the same cree LEDs except in flashlight form.

It's not all that off-topic. Cree does make LED flashlights, presumably with closely related technology. If they do a good job there, that's a good indicator that they might do household LED bulbs well also.

personally i think you are being an asshole... he just forgot to mention he was talking about something else in their product range. It is in that context, still on topic.

How nice.

Note that I did not downmod him, but at least 3 other people did. I was warning him before his account got hellbanned.

But I guess you see prefer to see bad intent.

if i get 'hellbanned' for this comment, i'm not really sure what to say. i probably won't try registering again because that's just really mean.
