Poor old Holonyak ""I find this one insulting," he said in an interview in Urbana, Illinois."

I always felt the guy who invented the cheap, battery-powered radio that helped lots of so-called 3rd-world people should have won a Nobel.

steel, In all honest the idea isnt new, Apollo has something similar called "Purple sun COB" and it is a bit stronger and a little cheaper doing the conversion. But the reviews on Youtube for that style(COB) arent good so far chips going bad across platform , the fans are really loud!

Quick link to their actual draw 290w model. Hope this helps
