I like it!
My Tiffany lamps wouldn’t appreciate these.
What is the ROI on this $45 replacement for a $1 100W incandescent? Will I live long enough to benefit from it?
LED’s ...or some sort of P-N-P junction
Id almost agree with you but a true bizzaro world appliance would make the room dark. but this does have the angles.
The bulb when produced for sale will cost $10 a watt!!!
I think I will wait until the cost comes down.
By the way when one LED goes bad do they all stop coming on?
Or do they just go out one at a time until they all expire?
It looks like one of these Chinese “cottage industry” products. They send out boxes of parts to peasants who hand-assemble them in their own homes. All twisting-wires and snap-together assembly, no soldering.
Hard to believe that mass mechanized production wouldn’t be cheaper, but the people have to have something to do, right? The LED’s are probably made at some factory set up by a Western company and these are just the ones that fell off of the back of the truck.
I bought the biggest LED light bulb in Home Depot to try out on my reading lamp. It was hideously expensive and didn’t put near enough light to read by.
Keep trying. Meanwhile, I’m sticking with incandescent.
Emp or brownouts will kill an Led quickly
These really save a ton of money on power costs. In addition to using these in lamps and ceiling lights we bought forty par 38 equivalent LED's for our museum replacing all of the 75 and 90 watt halogen's. Our $500 light bill went to $200. Now after three years none have failed. A savings of $300 monthly for 36 months? Do the math.... We spent $40 each. I suspect they will last ten-fifteen years.
I look forward to trying out these new products as well.
That first photo looks exactly like it was cobbled together out of pegboard.
