Light bulbs lifetime was open collusion because longer-lifetime lightbulbs are less efficient electrically. Lifetime electricity cost for incandescents is much more than purchase cost, so buying longer-lived bulbs costs you money.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI do not see how that is collusion in the usual sense of the world? That is simply consumers opting for the better value, making the sale of longer lifetime bulbs an uncompetitive option.
