I’m in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I’m mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don’t last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever.
Yeah yeah, I know, it’s probably just capitalism shitting it up on purpose for profit. And bulb science is probably solid, I guess. I’m just pissed off that I just barely managed to scrape through this pay period with $2.78 left in the bank before I default on my mortgage.
Anyway, any lightbulb science comrades got any info?
Anyone interested in learning more, BigClive on youtube (or alternate frontend) frequently shows off how badly cheap bulbs will cook their electronics if run at full voltage. They put in a dozen massive led chips to get the brightness up and then expect a tiny wafer of aluminum with no airflow to keep them cool.
