Arched Pergola Solar

An arched pergola in the golfing community subdivison was the best alternative to get the HOA to approve solar. Soon there will be a nice paved sitting area underneath and a walk way to his back patio. It should turn out nice.

Candelabra LED :) finally something that is appealing to the eye!

Okay, So if you know anything about LEDs you know that in the realm of LED candelabras the light bulbs them selve usually are funky looking with some sort of huge white heat sink base and then the portion of the bulb that actually emits light is some sort of plastic cylinder with a cone shape to relflect light as best as possible with what common design is out there. 

Finally there is an LED candelabra light bulb that has a standard glass outside with a standard screw shell base, and then to top if off the light emmitting element is fashioned in such a way that the whole thing looks fairly similar to a traditional incandescent candelabra light bulb.

If you are from the area of Springfield, MO you can stop by the light house gallery to pick up a few testers. However due note, if you are wanting to dim these particular LED bulbs A STANDARD LED DIMMER does not work, you will need the elctronic LED dimmer. If you were using Lutron Diva dimmers in your house already that style dimmer would need to be a DVELV-300P. If you are using a differnt style dimmer in your house say a toggle style with a slider to the right, what ever style just let them know and they can sell you the correct model number.

If you are not from springfield, MO then google this, I am sure you will find a dealer in your area, or online that you can purchase from.

as of 2.25.15 I am still a hard core CREE LED fan for how great they are in every realm!!!, except for this one. They dont rush a product to market with out extensive testing and thus far they have not produced there candelabra version. Until then I am sold on this new style candelabra LED sold at light house.
