Thanks for posting this. We replaced 40 60-90 watt Halogens in our museum with 26 LED 17 watt LED’s. The best thing in the beginning was that the air conditioning stopped constantly running and we were astounded when we got the bill. We are saving 250-300 per month. At this rate they will be quickly paid for. We paid about $40 each.
We sought the proper soft light. The ones we found are very even with no “hot” spots. This lighting is superb. Now we will see if the 50,000 hour guarantee is true. I’ll probably die first.
I’m waiting for the price of LED’s to go down. I bought some for my ceiling lights. They cost like $40/per bulb. But if they last a few years, it’ll be worth it.
The LEDs will replace incandescants with NO ‘help’ from Government: Technology always does.
(Now if I can find my old old water fuel carburator design that I found in an old manual from the army surplus store in Roswell - I’ll see if I can modify it to use LEDs...)
Thanks for sharing about these - I’d been wondering!
