why are you acting like you need a college credit in an LED survey course in order to buy incandescent-replacement LEDs? It's like a new vocabulary of like 5 terms/concepts that can all be summarized in a sentence or two.

When I upgraded my house, I spent maybe 30 min reading some articles and then 30 more going through product listings [1]. To upgrade a core piece of infra for my whole house.

[1] I can already hear people saying "an HOUR???" But guess what now I know about LED bulbs forever.

I hope by "you" you are also including TFA and the comment I was replying to, right?

Your response directly contradicts TFA. I don't know who is right, I just know I'm not entirely satisfied with the LEDs I have. It's not my most pressing concern, but I'd rather not have to deal with 5 concepts when picking a lightbulb.


The article isn't some authoritative source. It's the Strategist, which can best be summed up as just some people with opinions.


Doesn't this also apply to people on HN?
