I remember when I got my first LED light for outdoors use. It was a whole new concept for lighting at the time, and I don’t think most people understood the full potential of what was being developed; rather, it was a novelty.
The biggest benefit I got out of my first LED light was extended battery life. The handheld light had around eight LEDs, but the light was rather anemic and had a distinctive bluish tint. But I didn’t really care about its weaknesses; I was just happy to be on the cutting edge of a new revolution in lighting. And what a revolution it turned out to be!
