Sharp Introduces Dimming LED Bulb Controlled via Remote

062309_sz_sharpled.jpg We've replaced almost all our light bulbs with eco-friendly compact fluorescents, but there are still some lamps we still use energy hogging incandescents with -- such as the light in our office. There's just something about the pairing of CFLs and my LCD monitor that makes our eyes want to bleed. Both provide relatively harsh lighting, and since CFLs can't really be adjusted we've let this one lamp slip.

We may change our tune as soon as Sharp releases its LEDs. The bulbs come with a remote control which let you scroll through seven different intensities of white. It's similar to a dimmer...

 
 

As with most cool things, they'll be in Japan first. Hopefully they'll cross the Pacific soon!

You can get dimmable LED bulbs from earthled.com that do not require a separate, easy to lose remote. They will work with standard dimmers.
