okay, i just can't resist doing this...
Good call.
But seriously, you could even just use it to build a demo lamp, just to have 'around', so you can show select people why LED lamps are Awesome.
you:
"yeah, this one isn't even that good... but look how bright it is! [BEAM]"
them:
"AHHHGHHH, I'M BLIND! WTF MAN!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?"
you:
"...seriously? Dude, it's just photons, relax."
Should probably use a really low current driver if you plan to do anything like that.
I'm pretty sure our lamps can be seen from space.
We should like... try to coordinate a mass cob-signaling of some kind: everyone get their lamp and aim it at the full moon at the same moment! Or the space station. They could even look for it at night, as they orbit above. Cree should do that as a publicity stunt. Spell "CREE" across america, at night, with their own cobs. If i was Cree, i'd totally do that. They could then expand into marine submersibles, and drop a huge 'CREE' sign in the ocean...s, oceanS, plural, as in all of them. Like giving Earth a bunch of Bling.
