And why is he comparing to Incandescent anyway? He should be comparing to CFL, and against CFL LED bulbs are rather poor - more expensive, same energy efficiency, same life. Why do it?
I have LEDs in my house, but only because my local utility pays for most of them. If not for that I'd use only CFL's - they are cheaper, and just as good.
- coldacid 8y agoRead again. He's comparing newer LED bulbs to the older, yellowed ones he was already using.
- tialaramex 8y agoAll my LED lighting had better efficiency numbers than CFLs. There's not the same saving as going from incandescent because obviously you can only make that saving once. But they're definitely better. LEDs also don't care about cycles. A CFL doesn't like being cycled on and off very much. So that leaves a temptation to say well, I'll be back in here again in a minute and leave it switched on. No temptation to do that with LED.
