Sure the cost is (maybe) 10x. But the lifespan is 20x+ what an incandescent would be. And it's on-the-fly configurable to preference.
The marginal cost of intelligent/smart bulbs is 3x or what not. Given how long they last, for many folks it seems like an easy win. The adaptability is great. Yeah you can eskew it & just do a thing, & yeah many consumers just won't get there, but damn, it's so nice having per-bupb adjustable brightness & color temp everywhere. For pretty minimal addition vs where we had been.

- binkHN 3y agoLEDs are advertised to have amazing lifespans, but I haven't seen that in real life. The LEDs I purchase tend to last two or three times longer than an incandescent bulb, but sometimes I don't even get that much.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoFwiw, I have never had an LED bulb burn out.
