Light Emitting Diode (LED) Intensification Breakthrough in New Zealand 
laboratory.

Using ultra-small electronic componentry to intensify (make brighter)the 
ubiquitous LED, the LED output can be increased by up to four times without 
blowing them up as would be expected when you shove too much voltage into 
them. The Free Electron laboratory technicians in Lower Hutt, North Island, 
New Zealand have developed a device to intensify LED's by overpowering and 
then cooling LED's to make an otherwise mediocre LED shine furiously bright.

Given the headlong rush to more Lumens per Watt and the wide range of 
applications that LED's lend themselves to, it is surprising that such 
an add-on component has not, before today, been developed. The LED 
Accelerator brings a solution to bear upon the problem of otherwise poor LED 
luminosity performance. At an increasing rate LED's are being used in 
industry, transport, home and personal lighting, security, communications, 
toys and consumer electronics, the future is bright then, for a company 
that will manufacture and distribute the LED Accelerator.

In the next few days it is expected that rights to the device will be 
auctioned by eBay and at other auction sites in Europe, and Australasia.
