Make incandescents great again. I miss real light bulbs.
I certainly don't miss how much they cost to run though or all the waste heat. Incandescent flashlights also sucked, even tiny LEDs outperform those Maglights from the '90s.
In the winter it's not so much "waste" heat, it's less work your heating has to do. (I know, gas is cheaper.)
They worked. Let me tell you what I'm looking for in a light bulb.....
And even the worst LEDs I've had worked for five times longer than any incandescent.
This is certainly not true, at least of LED's in general. Maybe you're buying a pretty good brand. The LED in the picture is at most a year old and as you can see is only operating at about 30%, which is my book means it failed. Probably failed months ago, which means I got less than a year from that bulb, which is only on maybe four hours a day.
I don't have a problem with incandescents. The reason why I like the LED's is that it seems often some fixtures have some limit on wattage, I guess because of the heat and usually the wattage is too low. Going with incandescents and abiding by the wattage warning I don't get enough light from the fixture. So putting in an LED with a much higher lumens rating works.
