Light Bulb Helps Create Future Scientists of Tomorrow

FIRST Green LED 7W Light Bulb Helps Create Future Scientists of Tomorrow

For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) was created over 20 years ago by inventor,"It has become almost a cliché to say that optical fibers are the cornerstone DSTT of the modern information age," said Badding. "These long, thin fibers, which are three times as thick as a human hair, can transmit more than a terabyte -- the equivalent of 250 DVDs -- of information per second. Still, there always are ways to improve on existing technology."A built-in dock is attached to the battery and when Led light not in use folds up in a nice compact manner to about half the size of the iPhone itself. Dean Kamen to encourage future generations of children to explore technology and science. The aim of FIRST is to turn out fine science minds and nurture their inventive skills through technology, mathematics and engineering through robotic competitions.

To sustain this project, FIRST sells Green “E-Watt Saver” LED light bulbs that are consumer and home friendly. Michael Graham Richard, Editor at TreeHugger, got a first hand experience with these light bulbs. The FIRST 7W LED light bulb replaces up to 60W incandescent light bulbs traditionally used in homes.

LED has gotten a lot of accolades within the green and sustainable community for being everlasting, lead and mercury-free and Environmentally friendly. The only drawback is the initial cost and that most LEDs were once non-directional.

However,Political assistant Rupert Dewey compact fluorescent crosses the junction on foot from the railway station to his office above The Jam Factory. the FIRST ”E-Watt Saver” can last 9.1 years based on 3 hours/day of use which is conservative estimate. Most LED lights can last well over 20 years. For approximate 3 hours of daily use, the cost can be low as 84 cents per year. Made with TESS with CREE LED, the typical models of LED lights, the FIRST light bulb are non-directional unlike the GE LED light bulbs. However, the FIRST LED light does have its advantages despite being mono directional.

“It really shines in a torch lamp — more than the GE LED because it doesn’t waste light by sending it downwards.Motorist Ian Beesley added: "It was running really well — they should led tube leave the lights switched off." It’s probably not quite bright enough to be the only light source in a big room, but I’ve been using it a bedside lamp in my small-ish bedroom and it’s producing more than enough light,” says Richard.

The suggested retail for the FIRST LED lightbulbs are $19.99. 100 percent of the proceeds from the FIRST Robotics Team 1538(aka Holy Cows) online store goes to help children from ages 6 to 18 develop and keep an interest in science, mathematics and engineering through rigorous robotic competitions.
