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 only LED bulbs I’ve replaced had failed within a few months of purchase, the rest have lasted almost a decade now 👌
I also have a incandescent bulb on a smart switch for my bedroom, it’s seen A LOT of on/off cycles over the past 5/6 years but is still going strong. I dread replacing it when it fails, as the manufacturer is no longer in business…
