    I heard that the corporations intentionally stopped making more powerful and long lasting ligh bulbs so that they can sell more units and make more money.

    Didn’t realise it wasn’t already banned over there in USA. UK and Europe introduced this some years ago.

      Do you think energy efficiency is bad? Most people refuse to change because they don’t understand new technology and need an incentive to change.

      ​@Craig WheelessNot to mention Europe banned incandescent light bulbs ages ago.

    What about all the plastic waste from these led replacements? We have moved from a recyclable glass covering and recyclable base to a all-plastic container that is anything but easily recyclable.

    I have all LED bulbs in my house. I have a lot of lights everything is LED. No they don’t last x30 longer! LOL

      That’s what I found. I still use them for efficiency and better lighting for less electricity saving money in my electric bill

      Sure they do, provided you only use them for an hour a week. Every other week.

    Energy, sure, cost benefit, not so much. I have never had a LED make it much past a year. Theyre all junk these days. Incandescent bulbs, at 100 years old, still function, the old school ones, that were used outside, under the elements, and in outhouses etc. That being noted, most of my LEDs are dimmable LEDs. Maybe they just don’t have dimmables worked out. My living room had 20, recessed, dimmables and bulbs alone, were over a grand for the living room. All lightbulbs are garbage, defintely not as long lasting as incandescents from 20 years ago. Not even close.

    I’ve been using LED bulbs for years and have had the conversation with my right winger extended family who whine about this stuff constantly

    Last 30 times longer? The only way we would get that is if the companies stop trying to use the least materials possible while trying to get the most lumens possible

      Sounds about right

    Well, banned until the 1950s republican party gets voted back in by their base of mouth breathers.

    That’s what I use in my house, how late is your technology? 🤔

    I would rather LED lights because LED shine brighter others look like you’re in darkness

    August 6, 2023 at 10:18 pm

    Dude people are going crazy saying that led lights are harmful because they produce wave lengths. Just saying anytime we do something awesome there is always push back

    So let me get this straight the US government banned incandescent light bulbs for barely any reason? Welp it’s the states what are ya gonna do right?

    Oh look you can save $16 a month by switching your whole home to LEDs… it will pay for itself in only 10 years…🤣

    • IgWannA2

      Pays for itself in about 6 months actually. LED bulbs are cheap these days. People often have over 10 halogen downlighter 50w bulbs in their kitchen, replace them with 4w LEDS and that could easily save $150 in a year in electricity, less about $20 purchase cost. It’s a no-brainer.

    • Stephen Cooper

      August 7, 2023 at 1:02 pm

      $16 x 12 months = $192 per year. At around $2.50 per bulb, you can buy 76 bulbs and still break even. Most houses don’t have use half that number of bulbs, so will break even in about half a year.

      Anyway, that’s using your number of $16, which might actually be a little low. And if you actually use 76 bulbs in your house, your savings will be a helluva lot more.
