Coast EAL20 Emergency Area LED Light Review

Coast’s Emergency Area Light (EAL20) is a simple, yet effective product. This is the kind of light you want to spend the money on simply because it works, it won’t break, and it’ll last forever. Forget the outdoor or camping lights of the past, Coast has brought the lantern into the 21st century. It’s got LEDs, standard ‘D’ cell batteries, durability, and stamina to last for around 100 hours. We’ll break all this down for you, but I have to warn you – it’s a light. This isn’t a terribly complex review, nor does it need to be. When a product works as advertised, and it’s impressive, the review sort of writes itself.

Dimmable LED Lighting – Replace Your Incandescent Bulbs

by Clint DeBoer

So are you ready to replace those incandescent lightbulbs with LED lamps yet? No? Why not? The thing about LED lighting that is so impressive and compelling is that it doesn’t use nearly the amount of power as traditional lighting. That means that you don’t waste energy creating heat instead of light. You can also dim LED lighting more easily than other technologies like florescent bulbs. LED lighting is also safer and less hazardous, less prone to shattering, and ultimately more convenient to use due to its smaller form factor. LED lighting, like incandescent, doesn’t require an expensive, and often bulky, ballast. In fact, LED lighting is clearly the future of both residential and commercial lighting. This isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact – one that is easy to see once you experience it in practical use.
