Longevity and Lumionsity
Hi, I have looked into LED bulbs in the past because they sound like they offer the ultimate solution. A massive saving in electricity, comparable light and vast lifespan - Brilliant! Or is it? The simple truth is no.
LEDs do not offer a comparable light source to conventional bulbs. They have a lower luminosity and are also a very focused light, meaning that they are only really good for spots, or torches and the like.
The lifespan is also an unfortunate fallacy. The LEDs themselves have a reasonably long life span, however the electronics that control them in bulbs do not.
I hope that as with many things the quality and quantity of the bulbs is increased giving better reliability and a realistic cost saving. The latter is also never guaranteed as someone has to make a profit somewhere along the line.
