Can you get LED lightbulbs you like online?
- winrid 3mo agoYeah, the Philips EyeComfort Flicker Free bulbs. Which HD used to sell. Now it's 90% a couple other brands. The problem is landlords and normal people just go to home depot so every time I move it's a giant replace bulbs fiasco (or even replacing fixtures).

- BigTTYGothGF 3mo agoSounds like the problem is HD/Lowes driving all other alternatives out of business.
- jerlam 3mo agoAlthough I only found the highly-rated Philips Ultra Definition bulbs at Walmart, of all places.
- WarmWash 3mo agoIt's not that they go to home depot, it's that they buy whatever is cheapest because "LED bulb = LED bulb", and then talk about how LED bulbs are trash.
- benji-york 3mo agoCan you get (non-LED) lightbulbs you like online? No. They are illegal.
- preg_match 3mo agoI don’t know that they are illegal, but they are legitimately useless. You can get high-quality LED bulbs and very warm LED bulbs. All my LEDs are about as warm, maybe even warmer, than incandescents. Like orange in color. LEDs are universally better. They use way less energy and last way, way longer. The end result is you save a shit ton of money.
- LoganDark 3mo agoI don't like warm lighting and especially orange lighting. But it's nearly impossible to find cool lighting that doesn't flicker like mad. Even adjustable color temperature fixtures usually don't reach anywhere near their rated brightness at the coolest color temperature...

- LoganDark 3mo agoNot actually as pricey as my current bulbs, but undimmable and about 70% less lumen output (visually about 30% less bright). It does have a MUCH better CRI though.
