On this week’s show we have three gadgets from The Inspired Home Show Preview. This NYC show is a preview of some of the new gadgets that will their appearance at the Global show in Chicago during March.
Meet the Unbreakable LED Light Bulb – First a word about the 1st LED bulb I ever heard about. It was the GeoBulb, released on March 27, 2009 by ccrane. Leo Laporte was the one who reported on the GeoBulb’s first 60-watt direct replacement that used less than 8 watts. He told me about it on the Daily Giz Wiz Netcast. The LED GeoBulb was designed to last for three years of continuous service, which is equivalent to 20 years at about four hours per day. BUT, the cost!! The GeoBulb LED light bulb was available from C. Crane for $119.95 for one, or for $113.95 each for orders of six or more. Okay, now comes the latest LED bulb I’ve ever seen, the Incredi-Bulb!It’s the first bulb you can throw on the floor and watch it bounce! You can even crush the bulb part in your hand and watch it slowly pop back into shape. It feels like it’s rubber but I’m not sure what it’s made of. It will be available in 40 & 60 watt equivalents. And the cost? Somewhere in the $5 to $7 range, due out this Summer. I found this at the 2020 Inspired Home Press Event in NYC. When I told the person at the Butterie booth, “The Butter Dish Reinvented” I really was looking for more tech-like gadgets, she showed me this new light bulb and told me she had just secured the exclusive right to distribute it in the US. The packaging in the photo is just a mock-up and may be different when the bulb comes to market in summer. I’ll post a link when I know more.
