MIT creates LED thats so efficient it cools its surrounding environment

[ultra_bright]

[quote]A group of researchers in the US have unveiled an LED which emits more light energy than it consumes in electrical energy.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled the LED, which has a conventional efficiency of greater than 200 per cent.

This means that unlike traditional halogen lamps and newer LEDs, instead of producing heat this LED will instead cool its surroundings.[/quote]

Wait, could you use these to generate more power with some sort of led solar panel and create some sort of cycle of 100% efficiency.
