so Phillips put out a $60 LED light bulb (60w and 100w equivalents) that will last (on avg) 20 years. Would you buy them? - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 25, 09:04 28
- would have to see how the light quality is before I committed to it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 09:21
- That would make me want to take the lights with me if I ever moved :) -- nm - Capstern Apr 25, 09:19 2
  - me too but I'd likely forget. Also - I'm never moving. ever. UGH. - Epiphany Apr 25, 09:31 1
    - Its soooo nice -- nm - Capstern Apr 25, 17:21
- I'd try one somewhere it'd get a lot of use, but wouldn't enrage me if it sucked, and go from there. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 09:14
- Only if they had a warranty of some kind. I get pissed when CFLs blow after less than a year - TWuG Apr 25, 09:13 1
  - yeah they don't seem to last nearly as long as they should. we use them at the theater and even the ones at home don't seem to last -- nm - sycor Apr 25, 09:21
- I'm happy with CFLs. And I have yet to have to replace any of them. We'll see... -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 09:12 10
  - I can't stand the color of the cfl's generally. I mostly only use them for closets and such. -- nm - pmb Apr 25, 09:13 9
    - me too. I hate them for doing artwork. The color and brightness are abysmal. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 09:37
    - I find I need to get the right kind. my living room cfl is like a hospital, but my bedroom is actually very nice. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 09:15 6
      - I'm generally frustrated that the models/tech changes so frequently with the bulbs that by the time you go to replace one you can't buy the same kind - oblique Apr 25, 09:18 5
        
        now that I think about it this problem existed with incandescents too, it just didn't bother me because they only cost a dollar. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 09:24 1
        
        the differences were not nearly as significant then. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 09:45
        
        This is part of the problem. Also, I find it very hard to use them to replace bulbs because you wind up getting different light from different bulbs - pmb Apr 25, 09:21
        
        and you have to buy extras and replace nearby ones to match the lumens and colour of the new one. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 09:20
        
        all the ones in my house have been here since I moved in a little over a year ago. I'm hoping the living room goes soon. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 09:19
    - The Reveal ones are much better in this regard. I had the same issue until I found them -- nm - oblique Apr 25, 09:14
- is it guranteed? How do they know it will last 20 years? -- nm - decline Apr 25, 09:09 1
  - they've been testing them for 20 years obviously! - oblique Apr 25, 09:12
- That's pretty steep. My question mostly still is how bright they are. I seem to have a hard time finding LED light bulbs that actually throw off the - pmb Apr 25, 09:08 2
  - yeah, most are only 11 or 13 watts at best. I had a 23 watt (supposedly equiv. to 150W) but it burned out quickly. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 09:15
  - hmm, true. the original ones i got a couple years back take a few seconds to reach full light - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 25, 09:11
- No, because I feel like I'm changing CFLs as fast as incandescent and they cost way more -- nm - oblique Apr 25, 09:07 1
  - CFLs have heat issues and just will not work well in some areas. - TWuG Apr 25, 09:18
- Nah, the other ones don't last as long as they should, I wouldn't expect these to either -- nm - Epiphany Apr 25, 09:07

  - I tried a couple for my outdoor bulbs since they're pretty much on all the time. We'll see. -- nm - pmb Apr 25, 09:09

  - This Hummer gets 33mpg, for serious! -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 09:02
- Fine by me but there will be some arguments about exactly which cars should be charged the premium. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:56
- I can't wait to be stuck in line behind this argument. "But it's a mini SUV!" "SUV is SUV! Ten per cent." -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:55 1
