But i have no idea how much truth there is to it.
- Spooky23 12y agoI don't think it's a conspiracy, it's just cutting costs of a commodity to meet expected lifespans. If you buy 130 volt-rated bulbs (120V is typical), they are built to a better standard and can survive exposure to poor quality electric service. It's one of those things not taken into account by the cargo-cult conversion to CFL and LED -- the electronics in these bulbs are built for good conditions. Try running the newer bulbs for extended periods off of portable generators.
