I see it as a double-edged sword. I mean, sure, with some good taste, those shirts would be pretty damn cool. On the other hand, I just know that this would result in some atrociously obnoxious shirts. Plus, more whoring of advertising in shirts.

I saw a shirt that had lightbulbs on it in the store once but you need batteries, and it looked really uncomfortable, they were nothing compared to this.

Ok...This is cool and all, but I have a question.

LED's can be turned into virtually anything (obviously) and they are bright as hell. Led's (apparently) do not give off any significant amount of heat, if they did, you wouldn't be able to incorporate them in fabrics.

about 90 percent of the energy given off by a filament bulb is pure heat. Only 10 percent goes to light, for Led's it's simply the opposite. Also, LED's do not need a lot of juice to be powered (how do the ones in the fabric even work? Kinetic?)

My question is...why have we not developed LED's to light our houses and cars? Why doesn't someone try it? A lamp, with several small LED's, could light your living room for weeks on the energy it takes for filament bulbs to light your living room for days. Why the disconnect?
So global marketing WHORES can find a new supermedium to advertise on?

Phillips new slogan should be: Phillips trading in long term global stability for instant gratification or money or trinkets.

Actually, they're working on that here in the Netherlands. They should be available to everybody in a few years, but for now only people connected to Oxxio (an energy company) can get 'em... for pl€40,- a piece.

No offense, but what AREN'T they experimenting with in the Netherlands? :lol:

I'm glad to hear at least someone is looking into it.

Does anyone know if the US has started any such initiative (that isn't faith based?)?

I have a LED flashlight. It's brighter (by far!) than the huge Maglight I used to use while doing security work but it fits in my pocket (albeit a bit largish there). Three AAA batteries lasts me over six months of regular usage.

There are a lot of LED array desk lamps here used by frugal Chinese students for studying. I keep getting the urge to buy one, but have no direct use for it.

*ALL* of the trafic lights and pedestrian lights in Wuhan are LED-based. *ALL* of them.

One of the most popular automobile modifications here is to switch cars over to LED arrays instead of standard incandescent bulbs after bulbs burn out. (The blue light bulbs -- can't remember what they're based on; xenon maybe? -- tend not to get upgraded, but it's only a matter if time I suspect.)

Almost all Chinese and Japanese cars use LED arrays for signal lights anyway, though.

What you want? Is already here and coming more and more into daily life. Just not in your country.

How...the... Is there some sort of port in the back you can use to program it?
I'm picturing jerks with cellphones being able to reprogram a shirt from the other side of a room and making it dirty.

I imagine if someone had the knowledge of how they program those shirts, a cellphone or better yet a laptop could cause someone to get their ass kicked.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been looking at Exit Mundi for some time and only very recently saw they had a forum, but from the looks of it, it's been up for a while. Guess I missed it a lot, haha.
