Has anyone here priced the automotive LED bulbs?
They are definately seen better from a longer distance, but they cost waaaaayyy tooooo much!!
Price has to come down for me before I can change to them-just in my car. Will not change in my house.
I am trying to figure how many I will need for the rest of my lifetme, then going tp stock up. I already knew the new bulbs would not work in the refrigerator nor in the oven. Garage will be a problem, also, as most garages are NOT heated.
I need my security lights, here in rural America. They are motion triggered, not on all the time dusk to dawn. Without these lights, rural America is a sitting duck for criminals. Then the environazis will want all our guns and ammo and we will all be sitting ducks, not just rural USA.
I have had personal experience with the bulbs they are trying to foist on us. They cost way too much for the life of the bulb. They do NOT last 8000 hours. I have had them last barely 4 months in an office setting only. Not even on more than 9 hours a day. At the cost of replacement- $8/ea, this is no savings. Next will be a surcharge for disposing of them, like the batteries in the Prius.

You got some bad bulbs and paid 5X too much At the WalMart here with the power company rebate they run a bit over $5.00 for three 75 watt equivalents.
