They don't cost that much unless you're getting the fancy, color changing, wifi bulbs that connect to your phone, or specialty bulbs. Normal ones will generally cost a couple bucks each. Yeah, it's still more than incandescent, but you'll make the money back through lower electric bills and fewer replacements.

Incandescent 40 watt A19 bulbs sold for less than a dollar at HD, equivalent LED bulbs are more than 4 times the price. Haven’t had one yet that lasted longer than 4 months.

@@robertherman1146 ... man you really need to shop around. Just went to Home Depot website and saw a 4 pack of 60w for $7.49. Walmart has 4 packs of GE for $8.97. Lowes has a 16 pack of in store brand for $22.98. Like I said, the fancy ones can get expensive, but the everyday bulbs will go for around $2 or $3 each. It pays for itself in lower bills. And you say yours only lasted 4 months? Yeah ok. That seems hella unlucky. I haven't replaced a bulb in years, except by choice. Do you remember what brand? And was this recently? I ask because yeah, the early LEDs were crap, but the current ones are way better. I don't know if they'll really last 15 or 20 years, but 10 wouldn't surprise me.

@@stephencooper3583 Check again. Here in Quebec, Canada, at Rona you can 2 very basic, non-dimmable, GE, led 60W equivalent bulb in ugly blue-white color temperature for 11.99$ before taxes. That is 6$ a piece and they lasted no more than 6 months each. Anything fancier than that (that will actually look more like an incandescent and function like one, eg. dimmable) will cost you more. Ah yes, and they don't give off heat. So a more cold drafts in the winter as the heat is less distributed equally across the house. Each time one goes bad we throw away 100% more plastic in the garbage (as they don't recycle those) and electronics (they don't recycle the chips either). The old bulbs were glass and metal. Recyclable and insanely cheap to produce.

the same group of ding dongs that are banning lite bulbs to save electricity also want everyone to buy electric cars which would all be a huge strain on the electirical grid and infrastructure and cause much more energy usage than light bulbs .

Mouse traps don’t put unneeded loads on the electric grid.

@drunk_astronomy but in this case, assuming the LEDs are the better "mouse traps" the consumers will purchase them without any government intervention. And to your point, there will be less consumption of electricity.

Vandal maggot

Nice way to signal your virtual.

I used to use the incandescent bulbs. I had 3 in my front room ceiling light, they lasted about 5 months. Now I use 1 led, warm white, 250 lumens, which is A+ energy rating. One bulb doesn't light the room as bright as 3 but hey, how bright do you want the room if you're just chillin watching TV and having a beer or dinner. These bulbs are a little bit more expensive, BUT the one in my living room now has been in there 5 years, as opposed to the old ones at 5 months. I bought a box of 3 and still got 2 left. On the box it states a bulb will last 5 years. I'm in the UK so our electric is 240 volts where USA is (I think) 110. Just decide which higher lumens you want.

When you add in the cost of operation, LEDs are cheaper than incandescent.

dumb

not when you have to buy 8 sets to find one that works with your dimmer, 3 shopping trips, a ton of plastic production and all that silicon + rare earth metal mining, all combined emmited more co2 than the lifespan of a 24 pack of tungstens, and replace the thing when it gets outlived by a 5 year old clearance bin 40w bulb, only for the new color temp to be a few degrees off, forcing you to replace all the other bulbs by this point you pay a years energy bill over bs claims more heat, blue light, switching whine, less life, no heat resistance, backfed electrical noise all for the low cost of $7 a bulb, for 2-4 years of life as a bonus, the plastic, silicon and rare earth metals ensure my led will be a landfill time capsule for future generations to see how we went the wrong way with saving the planet

I couldn't have said it better myself. Well said. I use night light bulbs. I can get a 4 pack for a $1.00 and can light 4 rooms on that same $1.00. With led, 4 rooms will be $40.00, not worth it.

You speak 💯 % truth!!

HA !!! That's several good ones in a row !!!

Only stupid people would agree with this comment.

The DOE just doesn't care at all. They were made aware of the health problems that LEDs cause, and went ahead with the ban anyway.

You realize high wuality leds don’t cause flicker

@@ongohamza8315 You realize even "low quality" incandescent lights don't suffer from flickering?

@@Main267 Yeah that’s my point, not all LEDs flicker lol. But lower quality incandescent lights are even less efficient only converting 1-2% of it’s energy to light and they generally last less than 2000hrs I’d rather pay more up front for a high CRI led and have that for 15 years than pay 20x that in power bills and bulb replacements.

@@ongohamza8315 What you'd rather spend money on is your choice. The point is the government has removed the choice all together. That's my point. These people didn't choose to be photosensitive, and these older bulbs are a saving grace.

incandescent lightbulbs last 1000 hours, statistically speaking, you will run out of lightbulbs.

@@BackroomsSlayer unless it’s eBay online retailers are retailers. The bottom line is once all of them are used up.

@@drunk_astronomy Yup, Europe walked away from those old bulbs a while ago. I am surprised China did but hey, it is China. You never know. Russia? also leaving the old bulb behind, other asian areas, same. One day old light bulbs will be like CRT monitors, they are not made anymore!

Phillips LEDs are indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs. Use those.

​@@drunk_astronomyIt's understandable you are unable to manage your own life and take responsibility for yourself. You have replied to every comment that is against this mandate. A lot of people are willing to spend a little bit of extra money on their electric bill for certain lights in their house to be incandescent. I mostly use LED but I use incandescent in certain sockets where I would like to dim a nice smooth filament. I'm sure there are things you spend money on that emit carbon that are not necessary for your existence but for your pleasure. The only reason you support this is because you have a mental disorder in which you derive pleasure from controlling people. You are too weak to control people on your own and so you support a mob that does the aggressing for you. It is really pathetic from a third party perspective. Instead of worrying about the $10 I would like to spend extra on my electric bill for quality lighting in a few sockets, how about the 500 billion stolen from the public and sent over to Ukraine to slaughter people. Or the countless other ways our government robs us of our resources.

@@drunk_astronomystill not the same

@@gleelights9525 I did the Pepsi challenge with my mother in law. It tricked her and you are a contrarian.

No. It’s a manufacture and sale ban.

Not sure how you mean. A 60w incandescent puts out the same brightness as a 60w equivalent LED. 800 lumens is 800 lumens, regardless of the source. The difference is that the LED runs off about 8w instead of 60w, and saves money on your electric bill.

@@stephencooper3583You are probably the same kind of person who also thinks teens and young adults still jumping inside a bouncy castle sometimes is okay too

CFL were banned too. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

That's not the point. if LEDs are as great as you claim then a ban wouldn't be necessary.

@@jvanek8512Wow two stupid comments for the price of one!

I say we abort a fetus with electricity!

Products exist.

yes they do

I'd guess it depends on usage. I don't know about 25x, but I'd wager that 10x is a safe bet. So you cut buying replacement bulbs 10 to 1, and you save on the energy cost per bulb (60w vs 8w). The typical home will probably save a couple hundred bucks a year. The more lights, the more savings. Mathematically, you can't lose in the long run.

Eat taco bell please

Taco Bell rules! Ohh and trump is going to jail and Sleepy Joe will be president for 4 more years.

What’s funny is Led’s draw lower amps then incandescent bulbs. So if anything it’s more safe to have lower current. Really what we have a situation of a bunch of boomers and conservatives having a fox news induced panic attack. They have become nothing more than a closed society of contrarians.

@@drunk_astronomy ... Some people just have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. 😆 But once they get over their stages of grief, they will eventually try LEDs (when they have no choice after their incandescents run out) and realize they aren't half bad. Heck, they might even enjoy watching their electric bills drop.

​​@@stephencooper3583 you seem too ignorant to realize something that may seem like a small thing, such as banning icondesesnt, is really taking away your freedom of choice. If you had a car that was old, but still ran good, would you be alright with being forced to buy a brand new one if the governemnt said that your old one was not 'gas efficient?' I don't know what it is like where you live, but for me I need that warmth from the incondesent in the winter. It gets COLD where I live. Any extra heat is necessary. And I am not okay with the force change of something that has been around for a long time, and has working perfectly fine. Last I checked, freedom means having a choice, but apparently not anymore. Our freedoms are being taken away, until we only are allowed to have have LED and electric cars and electric stoves. No choice between gas or electric appliances is coming next after this. Just wait. Then no cash will be allowed. Don't you understand? This is not for the greater good. It is all about taking away our freedoms. I will go back to candle and lanterns before I switch to LED lights.

@@drunk_astronomy they may want to put a warning on the LED bulbs especially now that more and more of them look identical to a regular incandescent especially if it has frosted glass. My oven doesn't have convection so I'm not concerned about vibration. In the past we have put regular 60 watt incandescent bulbs in it. However I just make sure I keep a supply of proper Appliance bulbs.
