Comments on LED Lighting.
What They Are:
When electric current is passed across the junction of two dissimilar crystals light and heat is given off. This is the basis of Light Emitting Diodes (LED).
However if too much heat is created the crystals will break down and in practice this means that the power of an LED light is limited and that they will operate satisfactorily only below an ambient temperature of about 40 degrees C.
Power of LED Lights available end 2011
As the current is increased more light and heat is generated but the current technology cannot dissipate unlimited heat and this limits the power of LED chips.
For replacement bulbs such as an MR16 the maximum power is 6 or 7 watts unless mechanical cooling such as a fan is used.
To get more power, a light fitting can be designed to use multiple LED's or with more elaborate heat sinks that are able to keep the LED chips cool. Our most powerful downlight is 25 watts.
Life of an LED
There are only a few companies making LED chips such as Cree, Osram, Phillips, etc and most LED light fittings and bulbs use chips from these manufacturers.
The chip manufacturers expect up to 100,000 hours life but this is reduced dramatically by the current applied to the chip.
350 milliAmps will give maybe 50,000 hours but higher wattage units may be applying 900 milliAmps and the life will be reduced to 20,000 hours. This is the theoretical time for the light output to decay to an unacceptable level, but unless the chip is damaged it will continue to emit light.
Brightness
This is where the LED story becomes confusing. The amount of light given off at a source is measured in Lumens, but the amount of light hitting a surface is depends on the distance between the light source and the surface and is measured in Lux.
The Led chips currently used can convert 1 watt into about 80 Lumen. Quite often the power lost in the driver is added to the lamp's rating so not all the watts going into the lamp are being converted to light. ie a "6 watt" lamp may only have 5 watts actually reaching the crystal. This is not always admitted so a more reliable measure of the brightness of the lamp is the lumens claimed.
For example MR16 halogen replacement lamps give off between 200 and 450 lumen. For comparison a 50 watt halogen lamp gives off 950 lumen. So however you package it a change form 50 watt halogen to 6 watt LED bulbs will not give the same amount of light in a room
However if the light output is focused into a narrow beam then the LED lamp can produce an area with same Lux as a halogen, so the claims that a 3 watt LED is equal to a 50 watt halogen are sort of true if you only want a one meter spot of light.
Use of LED's.
These are extremely useful in commercial applications where the high capital cost is offset by avoiding the cost of changing lamps and high hours usage gives excellent power savings. The payback time can be reasonably short.
For the home LED's are excellent for use in ambient lighting and garden lighting. They are ideal for stair wells, corridors, and to provide mood lighting in lounges and TV areas. The feedback is that the light quality is superior to halogen lamps Using LED bulbs in standard garden fittings can reduce the power used dramatically. A garden can be lit with less than 100 watts, so the garden or drive lights can be left on every night with the power use of one old style bulb. 5 watt LED bulbs can be fitted directly into existing fittings as the 12 volt wire wound transformers will supply the correct voltage. Only 5 watt is recommended as more power will overheat the bulbs in the watertight fittings and cause them to fail.
No one would really dare challenge the ability of crystal chandeliers to light up and beautify any space in the house. But despite of their stylishness and splendor, these adornments are still in need of maintenance and occasional repairs. You can only imagine how much filth can accumulate in a month, or perhaps in a year. If you fail to do something about the dirt, then it would be just as good as saying good-bye to the chandelier's elegant sparkle. Plus, it would totally be a waste of money to simply let its radiance fade like that.
Quick Cleaning Tips
Crystal chandeliers need to be washed or cleaned on a regular basis in order to maintain the sparkle. A quick clean is usually enough to get the job done. People who don't have a lot of extra time on their hands would probably opt for this manner of cleaning since it doesn't necessarily involve the dismantling or detachment of the chandelier from the ceiling.
Begin by laying down towels, newspapers or a drop cloth underneath the crystal chandelier. Keep in mind that cleaning crystal chandeliers doesn't really have to be messy. Therefore, you need to make an effort to protect the floor from dirt and from becoming drenched with water or cleaning agent.
It would be a good idea to invest in a feather duster that has a long handle. You may definitely make use of this in dusting off all the dirt from the crystal chandeliers. After that, spray a generous amount of glass cleaner on the crystals. In fact, you may drench the chandelier with the cleaning liquid if you feel like it. Next, wait until the all the liquid had trickled off. After that, the crystal chandelier is expected to regain the shine and sparkle it initially had.
Quick Fix Tips
In case you're faced with the dilemma of mending a broken arm of your crystal chandelier, then these practical tips may certainly come in handy. Firstly, you need to prepare all the necessary materials needed for repairing conked out crystal chandeliers such as the needle nose pliers, metal wire, 4x4 in craft foam, and instant glass glue.
1) Place the crystal chandelier on a stable, flat surface. Using one of the intact chandelier arms, cut up the foam block so that it would conform to the shape of the broken arm.
2) Position the broken arm onto foam block to find out if it fits nicely against the base of the chandelier. See to it that the broken ends meet flawlessly; otherwise, you have to make necessary adjustments.
3) Ascertain if the broken arm requires more support and do something about it.
4) Utilize the wire from the chandelier's top or from its other arms to prop the broken arm. If additional wire is required, try to utilize the least possible quantity. This is mainly because of the fact that once the glue is primed, it sets up immediately and using too many wires will only take too long.
5) Before applying the glue, loosen any wires fastened to the chandelier base. Slip foam block approximately half-inch away from the broken spot.
6) Rub glue on the broken edges. Reposition the block to join both edges. Coil the wire using the pliers to fasten down the arm while it's still drying.
7) Wait for one whole day before handling the broken arm so that the glue will have enough time to dry out fully.
Repeat the procedure to repair other wrecked crystal chandeliers in your home.

The Mathmos JellyWash and JellyFish are designed in a very UFO like manner. Coming in two different colors the JellyFish coming in black and the JellyWash coming in white. Both stand at an angle with an extruding single leg at the bottom of each light, this keeps it sturdy on any surface. And on the top of each light a touch sensitive controller sits. Very futuristic but that's just the design.
The JellyFish uses super bright LED's. LED's are very economical which is a huge plus for these lights. The main intention for the JellyFish is to be aimed at Walls and ceilings. This works really really well due to the super bright LED's and UFO like design allowing light to be released at a curved angle. Smooth surface walls work best for the effect. The JellyWash also uses LED's but not anywhere near as bight compared to the JellyFish. The JellyWash is better appointed to sitting on a shelf or table. It suits the living room and bedroom very well.
The thing that really excites me with both of these lights is the touch sensitive controls. Much like an iPhone or iPad to control these lights you use your finger tips. Tap the touch sensitive control area once to turn the lights on, swipe your finger left and right to choose a color scheme, swipe up and down to navigate through the huge library of colors, tap up and down to change the brightness of a color, double tap to cycle through a color faze and to turn the lights off hold your finger on the surface for 5 seconds plus. This system is beautifully integrated and makes the JellyFish and JellyWash that little bit more fun to use too.
Every color in the rainbow is literally in these lights. All colors are rich, deep in volume and uplifting. I like to set both lights into faze mode, this allows transitions of one color to another and keeps it fresh.
Included within the box is a manual and a wall plug. One thing that I was a tad worried about was the cable length because I wanted to put the JellyFish high up on a shelf so the light would paint my ceiling in a staggeringly delightful color. The cable is plenty long, so this isn't something to worry about if you also want to put the light into similar scenarios.
Overall the JellyFish and JellyWash both live up to their purposes. These are truly solid products with an awesome futuristic design, beautiful colors and are very easy to use with the intuitive touch control system.
