The regular consumer, like us, don't give a rats ass about the technology behind the light, we just want them to work well. The light is much, much worse than incandescents for the typical consumer. That's what the article is about. Your comment if anything is the weird one.
What? What is weird about that comment? An LED light from a random brand purchased from a random grocery store is very likely to work just fine, and that is many people's experience, so if your experience is different, you should provide concrete evidence instead of hand waving or using words like "worse" with no substance whatsoever.
Nothing hand-wavy about it. The article that this thread is based on provides the evidence, and you are refuting it. I am refuting your refutation. My experience aligns exactly with the article, that nothing really got better, and especially not the light in my rooms.
