And I still like my incandescent light bulbs.
Sure, when the AC is on in late spring/summer, LED makes a heck of a lot more sense. But when the heat is on, filament lightbulbs serve as space heaters as well as glowy-warm lights.
And with the whole open question of blue light and retinopathy, tells me that until this is resolved that again, incandescents are better than LEDs. I already knew that those damned 'blue LEDs' are painful at night. I now know why.
- vostok 8y agoHeat pumps are usually more efficient than incandescent bulbs at heating.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoTrue, but in the cold parts of the year, those lights are 100% efficient. They provide light (primary), and heat (secondary). Its only during the warmer parts of the year do they turn into a significant burden, energy wise.
- vostok 8y agoRight, but 100% efficient is pretty bad. Heat pumps can be 300% efficient for example.
