i helped my brother install LED lights on his car
LED lights actually blink more than other bulbs.
To begin with, I love LED lights because they are so hard to burn out. Secondly, LED lights are a lot brighter than most other lights. In conclusion, that is why I like LED lights better than regular lights.
This episode was really interesting and I love how they add stories and jokes to make the videos more fun to watch.
I have LED lights in my room.
when did they start switching over to LED over traditional lightbulbs
I just love the concept of light and energy

So cool that light bulbs use bamboo fibers! I had no idea!
LED lights were a great invention and last so much longer.
I like the video. This lightbulb info is interesting
Fascinating! I had not previously thought much of LEDs.
hello from ohio
It’s amazing how much we all have to learn from you all.
I learned about Thomas Edison, and his invention of using electricity to create a light bulb.
I loved how they explained how LED lights work!
I loved the section where it talked about how Thomas Edison used the other elements for the light bulbs and how they would melt until they found the filament. I also loved when Roger billings talked about how LEDS work and why they’ve become the most efficient lighting technology.
Light & LEDs episode 232
I was impressed with how quick he got over not winning. The history of how the first long – lasting bulb was invented, and how Roger Billings was the student of Lear. Also how the first LED’s were made.
Episode 232
Light and LED’s
I find the science behind electricity very fascinating!
That’s amazing how the creator of acellus is connected to some great people, and providing us with great information and fun classes.
I have LED lights in my room! Its such a creative and well thought design.
I learned inside a light bulb there is a filament that makes the light bulb glow.
Are LED bulbs the biggest improvement of the last ten years?
would a light bulb work without a control chip?
awsome
LED Lights are so cool i actually have them in my room!! I would love to learn how they work the way they do!

Episode was really really good I enjoyed watching it.
We switched all of our bulbs to led to save money.
I think it’s pretty crazy that with all of the ai now that they have not figured out how to create a never ending light source.
Wow, I love LED light because we use them every day every night Thomas You light up my life
light bulbs are a very interesting thing to study up on!
loved this!
technology has advanced so much
how is it possible to change colors so quickly?
I had no idea that lightbulbs used bamboo fibres! That is AWESOME!
Wow, I enjoyed this video
Are Led lights bad for pets?
Light is so important to our world. New technologies are so cool.
Why is led so bright?
I have LEDs in my room, such an amazing invention.
I always wondered how LEDs worked.
I love LEDS but they are bad for your eyes
LED lights Are Very cool LIGHT Bulbs are so Amazing
💡💡💡💡💡💡
Light is important because it helps us see in the dark.
How do we harness the power of LEDs and how do they change colors?
Wonderful! I love R-51 😀
LED’s are bad for the human eye. I wonder if it is bad for animals too. I bet it is.
That ChatGPT story about R-51 was a riot!!! That story had me laughing till my lungs started hurting😂😂😂. Such wonderful entertainment.
We use LED lights in our house
I enjoyed learning about light and led lights and how technology has changed over time.
I Like LED lights THEY are so Amazing LED lights Are the Best
I did my 5th-grade research project on this! I absolutely love this topic and you explained it so well!
it’s so cool seeing how technology has advanced
I love learning about how light bulbs work! great video!
Will these new incandescent light bulbs being tested by MIT, produce heat, that if you touch is it hot?
i dot a led lightbulb in my room and i have led light strips
LED is cooler and last longer than the Incandescent is interesting/
We have LED lights in our home
I really enjoyed learning about how lightbulbs work and the pizza story was very entertaining. Thank you!
The light bulb! Thomas Edison!
I Like science project so much fun
How are different color LED bulbs made?
Yeah the light bulb 💡 is a good one
LED light are so cool
what adres so i can send r-51 led’s (i has alot) (lolim jk but i would)
Yeah the light bulb 💡 is a good one !!
The Ventionair videos are always so funny and intriguing!
very interesting how technology has changed!
This video is really cool.
I like this lesson a lot I never knew Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
This was very interesting
amazing
Why are people so resistant to using new technology and ideas when they first come out?
Are there places that mandate use of LED rather than regular light bulbs because of the energy savings?
This was a good lesson. I like the pizza story.
This video is really cool.
I liked learning about how light bulbs work.
It was fascinating to learn about Thomas Edison and the process of creating a light bulb. I knew he invented a light bulb but I had no idea he created system for light bulbs. Thank you for this awesome class!
Wow! this lesson was super intriguing and very cool!
I like the sounds and music and the introduction
Why do LED lights not last 10 years if we know what the problem is? Do we not know how to fix it?
Why is LED so much brighter?
Isn’t LED light bad for your eyes?
Loved this episode!
It is interesting to watch how much technology has changed
I think it is cool how far we have come from when lightbulbs and even leds were first invented
Wish I could make those LED.
So jealous.😇
I didn’t know that there is 6,000 plants.
Let’s all pray for the well being of the east coast kids who are gonna suffer from hurricane Milton
I never new that Thomas Edison tried to power light bullbs by using plants.
wow this is good
I love it!
Awsome
So cool😄😃
im not sure if you have but you should definitely write a book because I believe you have a lot of great information that could benefit this country if not this world
I thought it was amazing! I did not know it was so cool!
Wow, who knew that ChatGPT could be that funny lol
PIZZA!!! i love the story so fun and great.
I liked the story about r51 making the best pizza.
Area51 is so fun and silly. And so are you Mr.roger billing
I kind of take light for granted, but its very cool to learn how it works!
I vote that the second moon be named tuna. I wonder if I can see the new moon through my telescope. I also like the story near the end of the video.
This is so cool. I learned so much about the light bulb.
How long did it take for Thomas Edison to make the final design of the lightbulb.
How cool!
I like the Fresh Air Canister
What is the process of carbonization use on the bamboo? What was the procedure?
Why did they not think of the light bulb before. How did they make the light work.
Who had the first idea for a lightbulb? Do we know of ways that might be more efficient/effective to light our homes and businesses besides lightbulbs? Could another solution to lighting our homes ever take the place of lightbulbs?
This was an amazing episode!
pizza for world peace
LED lights are so cool i love that they change colors and i have some in my room
the story was so funny.
When does the asteroid leave Earth? What is the date?
Its cool that you can make light.
