FYI, that lamp does require energy input. Eat cornflakes, metabolize, crank weight to the top of the column. I bought a bulb from CCrane that has 36 superbright LEDs, and it is nowhere near bright enough to read by let alone anything else except put a bit of light into a dark room (like a night light). It only consumes about 1 watt, but it's not too bright either. I suspect that lamp with 10 LEDs would be far darker than the 40 watt metric they claim. And as they say, only 10-15 years into service, the light will be a slightly more useful color. My own LED bulb is too blue, like moonlight. LED bulbs are the future, in my opinion, but still a long way off. Here's a bulb that's likely equivalent to a 50-watt bulb (they claim 60), and it's $120: ccrane.com So remember to eat your cornflakes and also note that this is the Epic American Credit and Bond Bubble Laboratory forum on Silicon Investor.
