    Re: GE buying CREE... You can never say never, but as an ex lighting sales person, I have to say that GE believes in the razor-blade theory of sales as promoted by Gillette .. They sell cheap lighting that has to be replaced a lot... CREE makes a product that will last... Oddly enough, I just replaced 6 50 Watt high intensity lights from a company in China .. The $8.95 lights that came with my fixtures from Home Depot lasted about 6 weeks... The state 2500 hours. My replacements cost me $15 each and are rated at 20,000 hours.. They consume 4 Watts ... The replacement cost alone is a massive savings and the energy use I expect will save me a fortune. The downside is that the light output is rated similar to a 25 Watt spot. Still....

    Thx jegan ;-)
