Osram is now selling LED light bulbs that they claim can last 50 years (based on a three hour/d day usage).
If that is true, it's a great development over the universal 1000-hour lifetime of the incandescent light bulbs of the past century. More of this please.

Do you worry about the additional EMR generated by some LED bulbs?
Not at all. I worry about cheap LEDs but the emissions to be wary of is high-frequency sonic noise , not EMR (led emr is much lower than both halogen and incandescent bulbs due to the fact that they barely draw any current).

LED light bulbs are manufactured to fail by oversteering the power electronics. If they would be constructed properly, there's nothing that needs to break.
