I was a fan from the beginning. We will look at incandescent light bulbs the way we now look at gas or kerosene lamps.
Further, when the population switches, it has a significantly noticeable effect on the electric grid. I know this because that’s where I work. It’s not just a dent. It is much more significant than that.
However, I didn’t jump on at first simply because they were too expensive, just like a radio shack calculator in 1971 was too expensive.
Here’s another dirty little secret about them: Some will last pretty much forever while others will burn out because they are cheaply made.
