Handyguy Brian saw an interesting DIY Soil pH Test (pH is a
measure of acidity) test described on Facebook. We try it out
and also try a commercially available DIY Soil pH Test kit on
this episode of The Handyguys Podcast. LED bulbs are the next
generation of “green” lighting technology. The Handyguys talk
about how LED Bulbs compare to CFLs and whether they are really
friendly to the environment. What is an LED bulb? LED stands for
Light Emitting Diode. LEDs have been around for a long time but
only recently have become effective in lightbulbs. They use
little electricity and can last a very long time. LEDs (the
diodes) are very small elements that must be combined to produce
one bulb that has an equivalent light output needed for a bulb.
In addition to the diodes there must be electronic circuitry to
control them. Advantages of LED Bulbs Energy Consumption – The
energy consumption is similar to that of CFL bulbs and much
better than incandescent bulbs. Dimmable – This is awesome, See
