I'm in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I'm mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don't last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever.
Yeah yeah, I know, it's probably just capitalism shitting it up on purpose for profit. And bulb science is probably solid, I guess. I'm just pissed off that I just barely managed to scrape through this pay period with $2.78 left in the bank before I default on my mortgage.
Anyway, any lightbulb science comrades got any info?
The first few generations of led bulbs last longer. I have tons that are still going and no noticable loss in brightness even though the packaging said to expect that in place of burning out. Now there are a lot of shit tier ones mixed in. As others have mentioned there are also a number of specific compatibility problems too.
