I found one company that makes LED's in the US, Bridgelux and was wondering if anyone else knows of any, I'm eying up
one of these seeing as how they seem to be at a reasonable price (two years ago I bought a 3 watt bulb like that for $35, standard price for it was $45 at the time) and it works great, I use it as a reading light, reflex off my ceiling and lights the whole room well enough that I can read in bed.
I like the idea of not buying stuff like this from China, seeing as how they didn't seem to keen on the idea of reducing global warming and mostly just want to sell us stuff and don't seem to care what the impact will be.
