Has anyone sued LED manufacturers on these 2 points for false advertising?

>pixels
twist harder

>>107155515
you think i havent tried that already?

>>107155485 (OP)
>supposedly
it's so trivial to check the power draw

apparently "they" did the same shit with the incandescent bulbs. they could make those last forever but they had a meeting of all the mfrs in the 1920's or something where they agreed to standardize and make them burn out with regularity. it's always the same game

>>107155485 (OP)
what model

>>107155485 (OP)
LEDs are long living but their PSU are shit as fuck. I used to get components from them as you can find them in loads.

you can just buy an incandescent designed to run at higher voltages, and then undervolt it and it will burn forever.

>>half its pixels die by the next year or it starts flickering
wtf kind of light are you buying?

>>107158110
where the fuck would you buy one of those?

>>107155485 (OP)
manufacturers over drive LED's in the bulbs to "save money", and >>107158094

>>107158110
That's a pretty good idea actually. So what, I buy a 220 bulb???

>>107158352
yeah a very high output 220v bulb should burn about as bright as a house bulb under 120v mains.

clown
