having trouble you see I have windows media player.
wont play the video file with that extension and I am feeling too lazy to download real player.
I really would like to see them though,thanks for sharing.

I highly recommend watching the LED movie. It's fascinating.

I went to the orbitec website, and the panel of LED's they have looks awesome. I wonder what enormous amount it must cost. The presenter in the video said these technologies are being developed for the future, around 2030, so I wonder if awesome LED systems like the one displayed on Orbitec's website will be commercially available by then. Maybe they'll be better, cheaper, cooler.

I wonder how advanced they'll be in 22 years. If what you said it true, and they double in power every 18-24 months, that's a minimum of 1 x 10^22 increase of power, if my math was right (100%^11). I wonder if they'll be used residentially and as commercial lighting by that time. It's a really exciting time for plant horticulture, and these LED's look really cool.

10^22 is a big deal. It's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 increase in power, if my math was right. That's ten sextillion percent!
