DURHAM -Cree Inc.'s  new LED bulb may be in the same price range as Philips Lighting’s new $15 version, but is it in the same ballpark?Industry publication LEDs Magazine looked at the differences between the two bulbs this week, focusing specifically on the design of each.

The Philips version has remote phosphor actually applied on the dome, an approach that reduces cost by eliminating the optic between the LED and the outer globe.Cree’s bulb, as we’ve already reported, mounts its LEDs on a “filament tower,” aiming to look like a traditional tungsten filament. But it may not be as cost-effective, at least to Cree (Nasdaq: CREE).

In low volume, the LEDs cost about $1.50 each, but for Cree, the price would have to be “substantial, perhaps accounting for more than half of the price of the 60W-equivalent lamps,” the article reads. “Still Cree has taken much of the sting out of buying an LED lamp. Most people will see payback in about one year if the lamp is installed in a high-usage socket.”

LED companies in general have been trending upwards in recent weeks. Greg Sebasky, CEO of Philips’ North American Unit, has been quoted as saying the LED lighting market will grow 40 percent in 2013.However, LED bulbs account for less than 1 percent of the 5.6 billion bulbs used in residential homes in the U.S.

Elite Tungsten announced that it's signed Bassmaster Elite Series pro Matt Herren to its pro staff.

"I use nothing but tungsten weights when I’m fishing," he said. "The sensitivity and smaller profile that tungsten provides plain helps me get more bites. Elite Tungsten weights are the best I've seen. They are 97% tungsten and the line-through holes are diamond-drilled, which eliminates the need for line inserts – I don’t want anything between my line and my weight. Plus they come in six chip-resistant colors."

Said Jimmie Underwood of Elite Tungsten: “We are excited to have a top-level Elite Series angler like Matt working with us. Matt is not only a top-level angler, but he is a great person as well. We look forward to having his input on future Elite Tungsten products.
