In fact, incandescent light bulbs were standardized by a literal mafia, known as the Phoebus cartel to last shorter than they should, a form of planned obsolescence, so that people would buy more. Today, the average 60W incandescent light bulb lasts 1,000 hours, or about a month and a half of continuous use. Just under half a year if you turn the light off during the day. The average LED bulb with the same amount of visible light lasts over 100,000 hours of continuous use or 12 years, not even accounting for turning it off when not in use. Stop taking your crazy pills. This is all before you factor in that incandescent bulbs require a vacuum or inert gas to function. LED lights do not, and are therefore more resilient.

Nope, not 100% efficient. When filament gets hot, it expands, which uses energy, and the expansion causes sound waves between bulb and filament, which works as an air conditioning unit. Also, when filament heats up, nearby gas particles are heated up and ionised. Also, electrons are ejected from filament by thermionic emission, these electrons can interact with earth's or the sun's magnetic fields and convert the heat energy into kinetic energy. So nope, sadly not 100% efficient.

"Easier on the eyes"? You can get LED in either cool or warm tones... or even selectively switchable. Incandescent is also an *inefficient* source of heat that isn't wanted or needed all year. In the summer, part of any home AC cooling would be to offset the heat from the incandescent bulbs. The LED bulbs themselves give light for on average 25 times as long (25,000 hours vs 1,000 for incandescent) That is 3 years of all day, every day for the LED bulb. So, it can be justified just based on replacement frequency. It's easily worth the extra upfront cost. Technology advances... LED are the next step for lighting.

Yep, if you still have power and your furnace fails , a 100 watt bulb in a confined (insulated) space can warm it up .

I used to live in a place with no heat during very cold northern winters. I hated LED light bulbs in the winter because they didn't put off any heat. The old lights helped add a tiny bit of heat to my room. I loved the LED lights in the summer as I didn't have an effective way to cool the place down either. I would switch out the lights depending on the time of year it was. It was not my place and I had no way of fixing all the issues there and finally ended up being able to move after over 7 years of no heat among other serious issues. I couldn't even plug heaters in or I'd blow the power. I could have a heating blanket but that was it.

Your question is related to the economics of electric power. 1. We expect the power to always be on. 2. Renewable energy--particularly wind, solar, and hydro can be inconsistent--occasionally zero--occasionally overwhelming. 3. Fossil Fuel electric generation plants are maintained as back-up. 4. At least half of the power bill is devoted to maintaining the power grid which all increases over time as prices and wages and (yes) executive compensation increases with the inflation rates and other market forces. 5. American electrical infrastructure--the electrical grid--is kinda, metaphorically speaking, held together with paper clips and e-tape It's an awkward collection of supplier and transmitters businesses connected through tradition, government regulation and public policy. All it might take is a solar storm, a tree limb, a lightning bolt, a month of cloudy days and no rain, whatever, in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the spirit of science, electricity will always find a path back to its source.

An easier way to explain it, and more accurately, is that incandescent lightbulbs worked by making a coil glow white hot. It is closer to a heater than a “lightbulb”. LED bulbs are semiconductors, however to the elderly you can just explain that LED’s don’t rely on heating a wire to glow. Selling points are that since LED’s are way more efficient and lower heat, you get a way longer life and lower power draw.

While with led also short for "Light Emitting Diode" are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material.

If you need more warmth, it’s much more efficient to have something specifically designed for creating warmth to do it rather than relying on something that creates it as a byproduct. What about in the summer when it is already too warm? What about during the night when you probably don’t need the lights to be on? LEDs used to give off too cold light but that was 20 years ago.

Very true but one little detail missing here is that LED bulbs do generate heat via the module which is absorbed by its heat sink (the metal frame before the globe) and then the heat dissipates. That’s why when you touch the globe of the bulb it isn’t hot, but if you touched the heat sink just below the globe while unscrewing the bulb immediately after turning off the light, you’ll scorch your hand.

And the cheaper the bulb, the inferior the heatsink, the hotter the surface, and the shorter the lifespan. I have older LED bulbs with a chunky heatsink illuminated 24/7 for 3 years now. Heat sink barely gets warm.

@@ShrockWPS A single H1 bulb is consuming 55W, this power came from the battery and alternator, so from the engine. Even with an engine with an average efficiency of 20%, this means you have to consume 275Wh of gasoline per hour. A liter of gasoline (sorry I am European) is about 10.000kWh, so we need to consume 2,75cl of gasoline for 1h of light for one bulb. A car has an average speed of 37,5km/h during its driving usage, the bulb will consume 7,33cl/100km more. On a car with a mileage of 39,2mpg (US) this single bulb will drop the mileage to 38,73mpg. Where I am, 2,75cl of gasoline costs about 0,05€. With an average lifetime of 500h, the H1 bulb will cost 25€ of gas.

@@psykauze Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't believe that's how it works. Take for instance my personal vehicle. I drive a 2005 Toyota Highlander it was the 3.3 Liter V6 engine. The engine rotates the alternator and the alternator puts out a set amount of electricity. The power the alternator produces doesn't increase or decrease because of the demand of electronics pulling from it. It produces strictly off the engine. So whether I run LEDs, or the Hologens that are currently installed they won't effect the gas mileage because the engine and alternator produces the same amount no matter what.

Ask any flashlight collector if LEDs get hot. Oh yes they do. We have a little something called Turbo mode. Many hand-held flashlights have it. Basically push the envelope to just barely beyond what an LED is capable of. For example, 4,000 lumens for 30 seconds. Switch the light off, enjoy your raging hot hand warmer! Seriously, not joking.
