I swear I replace our LED bulbs that are supposed to LaSt FoREvEr AnD UsE No EneRGy more often than we replaced our incandescent bulbs.

I legit think the shift to more expensive LEDs (which means they take way more energy to make, which means they are more wasteful, NOT efficient) was nothing but a big political grift to force people to buy bulbs with bigger margins that weren’t having the growth they needed. So they used “green energy” to pad their pockets.

I swear there is no political action whatsoever that isn’t a racket.

It is truly nothing but bootleggers and baptists. A marriage between the scammers and their fools and nothing more.

They also have a terrible flicker awful for human biology. Check out what Jack Kruse has to say about artificial light at night.

Some do, some don't. Not necessarily according to price, but it's more likely that known brands like Philips and Osram (now Ledvance) are flicker-free, or close to it. (They also generally last longer.) I can see the worst offenders just sweeping my gaze across the room, but some people seem to be completely incapable of detecting it, even with tricks like waving a pen.
