Sharp’s Remote Controlled LED Light-Bulbs Generate Seven-Shades
Sharp Corporation will introduce into the Japanese market nine models of LED lamps featuring outstanding environmental performance, including high energy efficiency, long service life, and free of hazardous mercury.
Available first in Japan next month, you can hook up a series of these bulbs to a circuit, and adjust the colour temperature of all of them with a wireless remote control.
These lamps have the same standard screw-in base and fit in the same sockets as ordinary incandescent lamps, they are simple and easy to use as replacements for ordinary lamps. Pricing of these 40,000-hour bulbs starts at about $40 apiece for a non-adjustable LED bulb, and $82 for that tricked-out adjustable bulb with the remote control.

Gardeners who are used to traditional grow lamps will find gardening with LED lights a bit different. Here are some things to keep in mind:
–Don’t overwater. The heat from traditional lamps causes water evaporation, requiring indoor gardeners to give their flora extra water. Because LED lights produce significantly less heat, plants require less water.
–Provide some heat. On the flip side, the lack of heat generation from LED lights can cause plants to grow more slowly. Plants should be kept in a room that’s 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and a small 60-Watt light bulb may be needed for plants that benefit from higher temperatures, such as tomatoes.
