I wonder if the power factor really matters for something as low power as an LED bulb. The grid has to be able to handle the many-kW loads from high-power appliances (ovens, stoves, kettles, car chargers, etc.) anyway. Doubling the current draw of a hand full of 1W-bulbs seems rather insignificant in comparison.

- xxs 5y ago>ovens, stoves, kettles All of them are pure resistivity load - resistive load has power factor of 1. Ok, stoves might be the inductive kind but those run on 3-phase.
