Re: FIRST Fundraiser: Selling LED "Lightbulbs"

I was in the stands of North Carolina when Dean Kamen announced the new Cree LED. He made about a two minute speech about the product and its pro's, and then someone turned the little bugger on. Perhaps it was the angle that I saw it at (highly doubtful) or I was just really sensitive that day, but if anyone else on here who was at North Carolina 2010 can testify that that little LED was practically BLINDING, it would be great. Let me just put it this way, it was hard to look at Dean when that thing got power.

So from seeing the luminoscity capabilities of that unit (idk if that was a prototype or a showcase piece, or the real deal production) I have little reason to believe that it will have problems selling because of lighting issues.
I was there and in the TOP row of the stadium and it was in fact blinding/I turned away when it was pointed in my direction. Also the stadium was was an all glass building with the sun shining into the stadium so it was a very bright room with a very bright light.

In short these bulbs are very, very, very bright!

Two minute speech about the light bulb, just about the light bulb! He had his normal longer speech with it being a new event and all along with all the rookies and teams who have never heard him.
