I’m pretty happy with LED now. I wasn’t like 15 or so years ago when I bought a house and decided to outfit everything in LED bulbs. I was in it for the long term cost savings. Back then, LED’s bulbs were expensive as hell. For me to get my money back, they were supposed to last for at least half of the lifespan they were quoted. CFL were still popular but LED was the new move.
Within a couple years I’d have the bulbs in the ceiling fans strobing and some lights just failing, etc. Home Depot wouldn’t exchange them. And the claims on the packaging didn’t mean 20-year warranty so the manufacturer wasn’t helping. There was no savings because the investment was so high and so many crapped out.
Nowadays the technology seems better. Even cheap shit smart bulbs I have seem to be lasting forever.
Meh, i use to get cheap 95c bulbs and replace them every 2nd year or whatever - why would i buy an led equivalent for $5-15 each bulb for an entire house. Nor do i save any great amount of money using them because i usually use a small lamp at night other than the kitchen. this is pure bs soft communism when big govt dictates what items you can purchase and outlaws an entire range. It precedes big govt now able to use the same excuse to ban anything they want- and replace it with a much more expensive product. 'cliMate chaNGE'
Maybe so. At the time operated a business out of my home which meant I had lights on day and night. I also don't like the heat that incandescent bulbs put out. And they do draw significantly more power than LEDs. But to each their own, people should have a choice. That's definitely what I don't like about this or anything like this.
Oh ok sure, makes sense then, totally get it. Agreed, Ultimately, should be up to the consumer and individual, much like the clot shot or EV vehicles/ hehe.
