Message: IBM addresses smart LED Lighting, IoT, and Watson at LPS

Speaking of LED lighting, strongly suggest if you even have CFL's in your home vs standard incandescent, get rid of them and replace with LED.

Sylvania, also known as Osram-Sylvania (Osram bought them many years ago), imo is the best brand on the market.

A 60W, is adequate for most applications.

They will work with a dimmer too.

Make sure to get the 5000K, which is DAYLIGHT, 5000 degrees Kelvin. This is the color temperature with the most natural CRI, color rendering index.

The life is 22 years, where CFL's is about 7, and a CFL lamp loses it's brightness slowly over time. You'll not notice it, unless you have a new one next to an older one.

Sylvania 60W LED will set you back about 10 bucks, but the ROI in both replacement and reduced KWH is worth it, with about a 2 year payback.

Less heat contribution into the home as well.

OT....but....
