LEDtronics’ PAR38C-13WP Series is a high-brightness, energy-efficient LED replacement for PAR38-style floodlight bulbs. The dimmable LED bulbs have an E26 screw base and are suitable for damp locations; they can be used as track or accent lighting, security or emergency lighting, architectural and landscape lighting, display-case or fabinet lighting, museums and galleries, and more. They come with a softly diffused, frosted glass lens that directs a 40-degree, high-lumen beam of light in an omnidirectional illumination pattern of even lighting with no buzzing or flickering. The UL-listed lamps operate at an input voltage of 120VAC and can replace halogen lamps up to 90 watts while consuming only 12-13 watts. Choose from 2760K halogen or 3830K natural white light; both have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 80.

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
