Hi US people, european here.
The EU forbid terribly inefficient light around a decade ago. Yes, we had plenty of debates. Yes, people were concerned about all kinds of things. Most of them were entirely made up, some were exaggerated out of proportion.
I can say that we still have lights, the debate mostly vanished and no, it's not blue everywhere.
- rootusrootus 4y agoHello European, US guy here. > The EU forbid terribly inefficient light around a decade ago. So did we. Very few incandescent bulbs are on the market here since they were basically banned a decade ago. There are some niche options, you could still find expensive halogens, but that's it.
- righttoolforjob 4y agoHi, also European here. Everything the article complains about is true. The light from LEDs is significantly worse, even in Europe.
- tomtheelder 4y agoUS here. Light quality in my house went up noticeably when I switched to LEDs about a decade ago, probably due to having way more/better options for color temperature. Haven't had to replace a bulb since. I have zero clue what the author is talking about.
