Oh no? ROFLMAO! Who do you think first developed LED bulbs? Here's a
hint: it wasn't Phillips.

Hint:

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 authorized the
Department of Energy (DOE) to establish the Bright Tomorrow Lighting
Prize competition, known as the "L Prize".

On 3 August 2011, DOE awarded the prize in the 60 W replacement category
to a Philips' LED lamp after 18 months of extensive testing.

No, at the time neither had an advantage. You need to read up on the
"war" between Tesla and Edison.

At the time there was no such thing as an effient DC-DC converter but
transformers did exist; that was a HUGE advantage.

We have only digital TV here, also. Been that way for over 5 years.

Nope, we still have legacy analog in many places and that was the
reason the FCC denied the petition to establish a 4M amateur band
in the US.

Yes, but they did not develop the LED bulb. You obviously are not
reading, and arguing for argument's sake.

Which had nothing to do with the war between Tesla and Edison. You
should read about the history before proving your ignorance.

Nope. There is no analog TV in the United States. But those
frequencies ARE being used by digital TV stations - as the FCC said in
its denial of the petition.

Once again you prove your ignorance.

Neither inventing nor developing something is worth a lot unless you can
actually manufacture it. Witness the failure of the Wright Bros. airplane
company.

Nope. There is no analog TV in the United States.

Tell that to the FCC who is allowing analog stations until Septempber,
2015.

Which is completely immaterial. The topic was development of LED light
bulbs. But you can't stay on topic, as usual.

A few low power stations, with range in the single digits of miles.
Hardly worth commenting on. Nothing worth commenting about, because the
number of people who can receive them is so low.

Effectively the entire country has converted to digital.

And it has nothing to do with the 70 meter band, as indicated in the
FCC's denial of the petition.

There are a few special purpose stations with very limited coverage
which have been allowed to operate for a few more months. That does not
mean any of them are still operating, however.

But it does mean, for all intent purposes, that analog TV is gone. But
once again you show your stoopidity in not understanding that.

Can you name any stations which are still operating?

I didn't think so.

That would seem to contridict your statement of "There is no analog TV
in the United States."

Can it be the Great and Mighty Jerry Stuckle, font of all knowledge,
keeper of all that is true, expert on everything, and seller of light
bulbs was, gasp!, wrong?

There is great rending of garments and wails of despair across the
land.
