The first thing I noticed was how they dissipate heat. It was so weird to touch the glass and it be cool.

The longest lasting one I’ve had was a Walgreens branded one. They were cheap and I figured what the hell. It wasn’t on 24/7 but was in table lamp that was only on when in use.

I have discovered that the cheap ones my wife picks up at WalMart don't last. The Phillips one last forever.

They don't produce the heat incandescents do. Incandescents produce much more heat than light per watt

I've been wondering for a long time when LED lights would be economically feasible. I hate that the government shoved them down people's throats but they are the better solution.
