Please my FRiend you must have me confused with someone that really gives a shit about lightbulbs. My only point in this discussion is to point out that in certain ways technology changes for the better.
Do I agree that government needs to make us change our approach? No I do not, however once in a while we trick the dumb bastards who think they have mandated things and they play into our hands. Led’s are the best thing that has happened in a long time.
And to bring up unions is really silly. Matter of fact it has nothing to do with this discussion. I am a small businessman that is in a right to work state. These union idiots have caused our sales to decrease by 50% in the last three years.They even closed the road to east Zion National Park last year to use their stimulus money with a union crew to resurface a road that didn’t need resurfacing. We are doing everything we can to lower costs. One of those ways is to cut costs of electricity.
Just an old timer,trying to learn.
I have yet to see an LED light with a decent color spectrum. incandescents have a slight yellow tinge that is easy on the eye and mimicks candles, oil lamps, fireplace light, and the sun. LEDs have a bluish tinge that looks like arc welding flash. ITs just not a natural looking light.
My house had a mix of old fashioned donut shaped florescents and 200 watt incandescents with dimmer switches. In the summer when it gets very hot i take out all the incandescents and replace them with the curly q compact florescents.
