That sounds like an ideal situation the free market should be fixing -- so why isn't it?
- ghaff 4y agoI think it does? I go into a home improvement store, grab a dimmable bulb on the warmer side, and screw it in. That's pretty much the sum total of my dealing with LED bulbs.
- nix0n 4y agoThe problem is that the "dimmable" LEDs I have aren't actually dimmable, they just get flickery. The article has a similar sentiment: it's hard to translate from what the box says to how it'll actually perform in the real world.
- tomjen3 4y agoBecause EU banned the free market. The ideal would have been a slow transition where LEDs would have had to compete with bulbs. Like the others I want to buy an LED where the visible light cannot be meassured differently from a normal one, and with the guarantee that I can return it for a full refund if it fails before the 20k hours are up.
- fl0id 4y agoThe free market will never fix that, because there is no profit in making it easy for you, nor in offering an unlimited return.
