> If I might ask, why FEYE Its a sector that is bound to become more attractive if there are more big breakins... pretty much a done deal I think. FEYE is sort of under most people's radar, its tactics are not easily understood. Possibly a take over eventually? CREE generally don't like chip makers, but I buy flashlights and lightbulbs. CREE has a reputation among flashlight makers as supplying the best LEDs. My home is currently about 40% LEDs. I've replaced one outside spot light with an LED spot from Costco. At $17 it was expensive but the lumens it puts out vs the energy it sucks (14W?) is amazing, equalling a 100W flood, way better than any CFLs I've tried, and its lasted a year so far, many of my CFLs have failed. Indoors I use quite a few 3W LED spots and several 4W LED standard shaped bulbs. The prices have fallen to $3 and $4 per bulb. I think I'm ahead of most people on this. Besides the energy savings the heat emitted by the LEDs is significantly lower than all other bulbs. Most people don't know that lightbulbs can heat your home up by 10° or so. I stopped using air conditioning a couple of years ago, I'm all about passive energy savings. I've planted trees strategically and added insulation and shade structures so I don't need air conditioning. My combined electric and gas bills are running $40 to $50 per month. Probably a better return than anything I could get in the markets and a penny saved is a penny upon which I don't have to pay capital gains. PRLB is also a hard to understand company, in terms of what they sell. Good Mgmnt IMHO. They are dumping their profits back into the company.
