[RFI] Cree LED Light Bulb

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I started looking into this subject after reading about fire hazards 
from LED bulbs in fully-enclosed ceiling lights.  Now I see that Home 
Depot has units that are specifically designed to go in a 5 or 6 inch 
pot light can.  I haven't noticed the color temperature, but the price 
($28 each) was enough to put me off.
