"a move anticipated to save Americans $27 billion on their utility bills over 30 years."

This savings will of course be offset by additional reckless governmental spending triggering a tax increase which will in turn cost taxpayers an additional 1.2 trillion dollars.

Department of Energy can i get a 10 million grant ..

i can do a study on how to make darkness easer to lighten

which will make the light bulbs even brighter ..

all i have to do is slow down the speed of darkness or

remove the light eaters from darkness ..

light bulbs do not emit light ... they emit dark eaters ..

Shit started with Obama... And certainly now validates the fact that Obama must be hiding in Biden's basement coaching him with this move. Lol

All BS of course... But I'll tell ya something, I remove 3 old florescent fixtures from my basement and replaced them with LED fixtures and my electric bill dropped like $40 per month. Those suckers were old, heavy as shit, hot and noisy too... So there's some merit if you have old fixtures around. But the mandating shit has to stop! LED incandescent bulb replacements suck! I tired so many until I found one type that mimicks a warm yellow bulb correctly!

End rant... Lol

I've replaced all of my in house bulbs with LEDs. I buy the "warm" light types and they mimic incandescent very well. And I recently put up a bunch of LED "fluorescent" types in my basement. Light is good color and as you say they do run way cooler. Thing is, saving 2.5W per bulb won't mean shit in $avings, especially with the hike in the cost of electricity. Some peeps won't get it though so maybe a few more votes for Joe Kamala.

I'm still going to keep putting all my bulbs outside during the day so they can absorb energy to reuse inside at night.

I haven't proven it makes them more efficient yet, but it certainly makes me feel like I'm doing something to prevent climate change.

Is it me, or the past few years I've been buying LED lightbulbs they die in 2-3 years?!

Die as I mean flickering, popping/letting smoke out, just not turning, and random shit like that?

Regular incandescent lightbulbs are earth friendly (glass and non-dangerous metals), versus these LED bulbs are nothing but toxic to the earth (plastics, PCBs, lead, rare-earth metals, etc)... How the heck is this better for the environment?!

They also don't play well with dimmer switches.

Or the $12.00 light bulb that last no where near as long as they say they do. I’ve replaced countless LED lights over the past few years meanwhile they say the lightbulbs should last years. They are junk.

I don't think they would last 50,000 hours sitting new in the box.

My car gets great, legal gas mileage because it shuts off whenever it comes to a complete stop (absolutely hate that shit). I could probably squeeze a few more mpg out of it by only driving downhill or just towing it with my truck.

I get the ones that are dimmer-rated.

Another thing I didn't need the "check" for in the past. Other than those 3 way bulbs, I'd just pickup a set of light bulbs and be done with it back in the day...

All of these LED lights suck.

Especially the stock ones in cars... the fucking PWM flashing gives me headaches. Also the bluish/white tint makes it harder for me to see.

I prefer halogens.

George Dubbya Bush is the one that fucked up light bulbs and gas cans too.

Credit where credit is due.

Not that we needed nor wanted that fucktards input, but long ago I replaced every light fixture and/or bulb with LED lights: they don't last as long as I think they should, but they've gotten cheap enough that I order multiple replacements...I have 4' lights all over the Basement work shop and Garage as I need LOTS of Light to see what I'm screwing up.

Every now and then I get an email from National Grid with deals on LED bulbs and other "green" stuff. So a couple of years ago I bought two boxes of 6 ea. They look like the regular ol' incandescents, but they are LEDs. I don't remember how much I paid for them but do remember the price was pretty cheap. No burn outs so far. Maybe it's those fancy looking ones that are the problem?

We have a few of the same here, and the same results. Going on 4 yrs and still shining. A couple get left on from dusk till dawn, and sometimes a little beyond.

Some of the light fixtures in the house I bought last May have those decorative pointed bulbs with the clear glass and visible LED filaments. Those would do a semi flicker now and then and I thought it might be an electrical issue. But, I swapped out the "flicker'ers" with different type bulbs, and no more light shows. Like most everything, KISS and generally less problems.

I like the LED bulbs since they are very bright and run cool. I love the 4’ strips in my garage because they are on when I want them on with no flicker, are plastic and super bright where I needed two fluorescent I need one LED. I have an issue with Joe Biden telling what light bulbs I can buy, what car I can buy, what gas can I can buy, how much water I can use, what stove to buy, what furnace to buy and the list goes on. Soon he will be telling me what toilet paper I can use.

I agree 1000%!

I want incandescent bulbs available for folks like me that seem to have the luck of shitty LED bulbs or just want them.

I hated the twisted fluorescent ones the most. I like the LED bulbs but I haven’t found them to be reliable enough to make the cost worth it. I also haven’t seen a difference in my electric bill. It’s funny isn’t it were supposed to be in charge but all the government does is steal, lie, and tell us we can’t do this or that what happened to we the people.

Democrats gone wild... that's what's happened to We The People. Government no longer works for, or for the good of We The Peeps. We work for the government, we've become new world serfs :mad:

Will they require us to use new bulbs filled with toxins like the mercury in the CFL's that they forced us to buy? I like LED bulbs, but I don't want to be forced to use them.

We need to require all bulbs to come with a timer an led hour meter display and a warranty for 100% of the lifetime rating on the packaging. Rated for a lifetime of 5,000 hours? Fine, prove it upon penalty of full refund.
