Man! 1 million volts is a lotta volts.
audio guru and virus hello there audio guru ive see that site , remember ive serched every site on the net, and voltage labs will be back up soon to so i can serch for new ideas etc etc, but you might want to check out the hutchinsen effect, if ive spelt it right its not just the high voltage that intrests me , its the unknown things you can do with it if you get it right, if you do find that site take note of the details of what happens when he fired up all his high voltage stuff at once , and the bizzare happens,

My ultra-bright LEDs light me up pretty well, but I think 1 million volts will light me up better.
audio guru they have torches out and they use these super bright leds that shine a white light , do you think they will phase out the 6 volts torch globes for these, just emagine no tungston ellement globes just white leds. i have a blue led , exspensive but it shines out a light thats white and llights up the wall like a torch

Yeah, more and more torches are made with special LEDs that operate at 5W. In the past month, the price for high power LEDs dropped to half, and in March a new one will be announced and their prices will drop again. Their battery lasts much longer than a torch with a globe that wastes 90% of its power as heat and needs replacement when it burns out.
My Christmas Tree has hundreds of LED lights. My torches blink their LEDs quickly, to save power. The lights in my home are nearly all compact fluorescent to save power.

I've seen small flouro bulbs for sale as replacements (I guess they burn out too) but I haven't seen a torch that uses them.steven said:
I cut apart a dead compact fluorescent globe. They have a lot of nice electronic parts in there. HV power Mosfets and capacitors, tiny transformers and coils. Their power oscillator operates at 40kHz.
Your mains has twice the voltage as mine. Our mains voltage is so low that the filaments in the ends of fluorescent lights must be used to start them. The filaments waste power all the time the lights are on and burn out. Fluorescent lights here don't start when a filament is burned out.
