I mean, most people won't want them, but some people will -- so why not? Some people really want full spectrum light.

@Hoss Incandescent bulbs definitely look much better, but they use more energy and burn out faster. Some LEDs that mimic incandescent bulbs would definitely be better

I am a pure blooded American unlike you mongrels and my body craves LEDs, Corn Syrup, Microplastics, and Seed Oils. You inferior races can only bow to the optimized machine that is the pure blooded American. INB4 Amerifat, they are not true Americans and have corrupted DNA from you foreigners.
Seriously I tried the meme of being healthy since 2019 and I felt like crap. Taco bell and code red set me straight and I feel fucking great now.
Another $100,000 corn subsidy has been wired into your account.
LED bulbs are very prone to heat failure. Try drilling holes in the plastic shroud that covers the circuitry.
@Hoss Wait... the sort of bulb that stops women from getting seasonal affective disorder could come back?
@hakui @Arkana @Hoss kinda, but not entirely
that incandescent light bulb that's been burning since the early 1900s? it's dim as fuck compared to the power it consumes
the entire thing about being incandescent is the filament's color temperature is dependent on how hot it gets. the thicker and more durable you make it, the less white hot it gets, and the farther away from the visible spectrum the peak light output gets. if 95% of your light output is off in the infrared spectrum, that's not a very useful light bulb for anything but an easy bake oven or one of them old style bathroom heat lamps.

@Arkana @Hoss @hakui What I've always read is that CFL and LED light bulb manufacturers tend to cheap out on their power electronics.
I'm sure a very big problem is that people are putting them into fixtures which were designed for incandescent light bulbs which are not designed to run cool like the electronics and probably the LEDs as well really want.
Incandescents (largely? entirely??) fail by evaporation of their metal filament, which runs "white hot" so the fixture's old job was just to keep the heat minimally contained to itself. For this new stuff, for any bulbs I run for a lot of the day, they're in fixtures with good, convective cooling, and the bulb on top so it's not heating up the power electronics.
