Yeah you mean the kind that cost as much as LED bulbs?
About $1.75/ea and what in your pea brain are you getting Teflon coating from?

160F is nothing
It is something to the driver circuit and that is probably low because the thermocouple I was holding was getting a bit uncomfortable to hold onto. If that bulb was in an enclosed fixture it would be much warmer.

And? A clamp meter is not even close to having the sensitivity required so keep Googling your imaginary test setup.

The instantaneous load matched the wattage listed on the devices tested, and the total consumption matched the power company's meter on the side of my house. I can't tell you exactly how it worked, but why don't you tell me where the frickup is?
You are full of shite....
You have nothing that sensitive plugged into your mains and the power meter is sure as hell not telling you more than the nearest kWh you are going to be billed for. LED bulbs tell you in mA what current they are supposed to draw, 70 mA is not even a rounding error for for whatever imaginary device you have in you circuit breaker panel...

That's not how power factor works you clown... Not even in the same continent of what my point was.

No I don't, I can look at the engineering and construction of these bulbs and tell which is taking more to build. You'd have to be blind as well as stupid not to see that
quote:Well frick me sideways. Are you admitting to user error?
Except when they don't because can burn out in as little as a few weeks simply by being orientated the wrong way or put in a well sealed fixture. Heat kills the driver circuits.

Your brain can't comprehend the scales involved here.

Potential to recycle? Who is doing that and where?
quote:Yeah, they are throw away commodities. Compared to the tons of shite we throw away on a daily basis, my LED bulbs aren't a drop in the bucket. And over the course of its life it saved us from having to burn more irreplaceable shite to power it than we otherwise would have. Good trade.
Maybe they really aren't that recyclable, just another throw away commodity pimped by imbeciles too caught up in smellig their own farts.
quote:It was a joke, my man. Kinda like your whole argument.
500 years is about how long Styrofoam is estimated to last in a landfill because it doesn't degrade easily. Just like plastic LED bulbs. It's like you are intentionally ignorant. Rich indeed...

what in your pea brain are you getting Teflon coating from?
quote:It absolutely does. It produced very stable current readings with hardly any fluctuation, and it was very apparent to see when two 10W LED bulbs were turned off and on.
And? A clamp meter is not even close to having the sensitivity required so keep Googling your imaginary test setup.
That dip was when I switched the lights off then back on.

for a ton of reasons, but one being they have become affordable...
every now and then you get a bad one, but they will burn for many years, no heat, low energy, are dimmable... and look good. it's win win...
the color issue has been resolved...you get whatever range you want.
if people want to buy the old bulbs go for it...but it doesn't make a lot of sense

So why imply that they offer some great longevity? CFLs were a failure by damn near any standard.

I hate LED’s. Their harsh light looks terrible and they’re way more expensive. Damnit, Trump, give me my light bulbs back!!!

But you probably know 0 about electricity or anything being discussed here. Which is par for the course of literally every topic on the forum where you know nothing and contribute nothing.

That's not entirely true. If you have a room or fixtures with multiple bulbs you'd better buy them all at the same time, because if one burns out there's no guarantee the next 5000k bulb is going to match them. It'll be close, yes, but depending on the translucency of the fixture it's definitely noticeable.
I have almost all LEDs and went to Philips Hue in the main room, but people pretending they almost never go bad or have no downsides are overselling them. You can buy plenty of $1.50 LEDs if you're not picky about color and don't mind replacing them when a board goes bad, because at that price you're not going to get 99.9% reliability.

I find that they tend to be extremely hit and miss. Some bulbs I've had going on 7-8 years others I've replaced within a year.

I can’t find one LED that produces light similar to the incandescent bulbs I prefer.

I LOVE modern LED bulbs, though I am slowly phasing-out many of them in favor of programmable smart bulbs.

The difference is that the power company has to produce extra power for what isn't being used efficiently. Why the frick do utilities try to help large customers get better power factor if it didn't matter? And those are the customers that are actually billed for it.
quote:

I'm not talking about the price, I'm talking about environmental impact. Simply put, LED's have a lot more mass and don't breakdown like standard bulbs do. Simple but beyond your under-developed brain.
quote:

It's design flaws in who made them you clown. You are already fricked in the head though.

Obviously not since you didn't even try to address that issue.

Laughable, you just go ahead and post a video of you simply popping off the plastic globe on an LED. Show the group how easy this is then weigh that part against the rest of it and show us all what inconsequential means.
