Interesting article about LED headlamps slowly getting into mainstream. So, in my lifetime I will see technology change from incandescent to halogen to xenon and to LED.

I remember these headlights from coal mining industry. Mixing acetylene with some silver salt makes a little kaboom, especially in friends' cigarettes, yes, I did it, but it was in the last Century.

When I was a kid my dad farmed with horses, My brother law farms and the tractor he uses looks like a small building on wheels and that is in 63 years. I remember driving my VW with its 6 volt pretend head lights and now my Colorado on high beams you could read a paper siting 100 yards in front of the truck.
