Cliplight HEMIPRO Work Light
"Hemi" is hot right now, and although the closest I've ever owned to the real deal was a 440 Wedge (the older Mopar guys know what I'm talking about) the concept of "hemi" then and now implies power. Cliplight's HEMIPRO LED work lights are part of the new wave of LED lamps that are taking over from incandescents in applications from automotive taillights to architectural lighting. For those who grew up before video games, "LED" stands for light emitting diode, a semiconductor electronic component that behaves like the diodes familiar to technicians in applications like alternator rectifiers.
The difference of course, is that in addition to acting like a one-way current valve, they glow, in colours that can be "tuned" by the choice of semiconductor material. They're also incredibly energy efficient. Why? In terms of light output per watt of power consumed, white LED's can easily provide double the light output per watt. This...
