Perhaps I'm just biased from working in industry, but that's just above 200 days. That's nothing.

Now, a bulb that can run 24/7 for 20 years, that I'd pay good money for.

as a reptile owner finding cheap heat bulbs has been an absolute nightmare with this shit. and the pet companies know it and jack up the prices to 20+ a bulb. which is why i steal

In Phoenix during winter my place is small enough that if I had all incandescent bulbs it would be enough to heat my entire condo at night without ever using the heater. My e-bill is $25 for 6 months of the year

that's easy to do yourself, and it costs almost nothing to do it ... run a bulb double the watts you need on half a wave ... 3 cents and a drop of solder

Nope it's a neodymium full spectrum incandescent bulb.

>>512297856
Yes...

who has 125v ?

>full spectrum

got that right

>>512296910
They can make those easily by using a thicker piece of tungsten in the filament but they won’t because they want you to buy new bulbs as often as possible so they make the filaments thin on purpose.

I too own reptiles. The bulbs they sell burn out after a few months. I had some 60 watt regular incandescent light bulbs in my closet from a few years ago. I use those because they last a little longer. Im almost out of those though.

FULL SPECTRUM RACISM-AUTISM

the real reason for the obama biden autism bulb requirements is because american houses built by DEI labor would burn down more with real full spectrum incandescents

>>512298640
What are you even talking about? The quality of the light is identical. If you don’t like the color temperature of LED bulbs, they make them in numerous warmer varieties nowadays that are indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs. There is no good reason to keep using incandescent bulbs nowadays. The power bill savings switching the LED are massive, like over $100 a month in a large house

the species is a little peculiar on certain things, the heat is absorbed better with traditional bulbs alongside a UV full spectrum

>>512299088
LEDs have a massive blue peak. They get different color temperatures from filtering. Also LEDs are PWM, they have a way faster rise/fall time than incandescent, so the 60Hz flicker is way more noticeable.

>>512299088
now you'll get a handful of schizo theories about how "flickering" LED light makes your sperm die and turns you gay

>>512299474
aaand here it is

>>512299088
as much as I hate confirming burgers, he's actually on to something. cheap LEDs flicker with line frequency. just like fluorescent tubes do. thermal devices don't do that. it can subconsciously do things to your mood.

>>512299530
I used to do EEG-based brain scanning. Maybe not sperm dying or turning you gay, but the 60 Hz duty cycle shows up as a massive signal in brain activity. Even if you're not consciously aware of it, your brain is getting inundated with it.

>>512299474
PWM is only used in dimming. If you’re not dimming, you’re not seeing PWM.

The blue peaks are only for cool temp leds. I don’t know why you would buy those, there’s very warm color temperature LED bulbs available nowadays.

>>512299665
it makes niggers more gay, their brains are simply too primitive for led's, while the ancients like the egyptians warned the world to only have incandescents around blacks or to never relax

>>512296650 (OP)
If you wanted incandescent, you could have bought lava lamp bulbs. Those things require the heat of an incandescent to work, and were never banned, and they weren't more expensive. Ask me how I know this. Actually, do not. I don't like retards responding to me.

>>512299800
Even if you're not dimming, the rise/fall time of LEDs is way faster than incandescent. I.e., a piece of hot filament cools down more slowly than a LED can switch off. There ends up being more flicker in any scenario.

>>512298107
I swear I saw some shit one time about a light bulb in a firehouse or something that had been in continuous operation since the early 1900s.

>>512299633
LCD with LED backlight. thing is, I'm not the whole day in front of a screen. I believe the PWM freqency is higher and more easy to smooth:
a) electrically: just put a small cap after the PWM controller
b) physically: the phosphorus used in white LEDs has some persistence

>>512300035
This kind of flickering is not a thing for modern LEDs. Flicker free has been standard for years now. This graph is ridiculously outdated.

>>The Centennial Light is an incandescent light bulb recognized as the oldest known operating light bulb. It was first illuminated in 1901, and has only been turned off a few brief times since. It is located at 4550 East Avenue, Livermore, California, and is open to public viewing.[1] Due to its longevity, the bulb has been noted by The Guinness Book of World Records,[2] Ripley's Believe It or Not!, and General Electric.[3] The light has been the subject of many TV shows and news reports along with at least four books, and has its own website.

for the record, they don't explode (none have).

>>512296910
If you leave the bulb on it will last a lot longer. It's the on-off cycles that do the damage. If you turn it on and never turn it off it could last for years. I thought you were in the industry and you knew this?

Meh. I prefer LEDs. Something over 90% of an incandescent bulb's output is heat. Something over 70% of an LED's output is light in the desired spectrum.

Literally the only application an incandescent bulb is better for is as a condensation preventer inside a gun safe, and that's because of its heat output.

>>512297838
Yeah, and what is it in midsummer when you have to blast your A/C at max 24x7 to keep from roasting? Mine was $350/month from June through September.

>>512300066
Yeah, but (1) it's an older type of carbon filament that is extremely dim and so nobody wanted to buy those once tungsten filaments came out, and (2) it's been on almost continuously, thereby avoiding the heating/cooling cycles that break filaments.

Just like nobody uses the original red LED any more because it's a really poor light producer, everyone stopped using the carbon-filament bulbs because they were barely more than nightlights to keep you from tripping when you got up to take a leak.

there's a lot of us. I bought several hundred before the GWB ban went into effect. bought out the local walmart and my local hardware store (now out of business), that was somewhere around 2009 i think. when the biden ban went into effect i bought several hundred more on ebay.

>a bulb that can run 24/7 for 20 years, that I'd pay good money for.
Really not difficult to make. In fact some ancient bulbs still run.
Why? Because they have a thiccc filament and run at lower power = are even more inefficient than normal incandescent lamps.
In terms of filament it's simply a tradeoff: long life versus "high" (low) efficiency, but there is a second factor:
>the quality of the vacuum
And this is purely a matter of cost (and weight, but who cares what a bulb weights?).

>>512296650 (OP)
If you think incandescent light is natural, normal or healthy somehow then you've been rused.

>20 years

LMAO you believe that bold faced lie? LED bulbs never make it past 2 years, tops. And that's being generous. And I don't mean only the ones in fixtures holding heat either, those are just about 4-6 months.
You fucking faggot literally spouting lies they tell you on the fucking box... Shame on you. You believe roundup is safe? A bottle of roundup says right on the bottle that it's safe to use.

I also give you the protips:
The issue with incandescents is run time; the limiting factor. They die after a given number of hours. 5000h is realistic enough.
Switching them on and off however isn't a real problem, meaning they are good for cases wheree the light is on only for short period of time.
Now with LEDs; they can burn 10 or 20 times as long, or longer; there's less of a hard age limit to them,
but they are hurt by being turned on, lasting only a limited number of on/off cycles before the begin to fail.
In other words LEDs are good for cases where the light shines for long periods, but not when it's constantly switcheed on and off.

>>512302990
not at all. i bought a stash for my self made light installations, though these are for bright mode only and it's not that many. for room light i use a number of oldfashioned 5v, 6w bulbs in antique bicycle lamps, also self made. monitor light is a nuisance though. have you ever noticed the kind of sharp shadows a led produces? they make me sick and i can't even say it's due to flicker. it's just shitty light and filtering it to a certain colour or 'temp' doesn't change its character.

>>512296650 (OP)
enjoy paying 500 a month for electricity fagmo. I'll stick to my 3500k leds just to piss off the incandescent jews.

>>512312276
soft start switching can increase the lifespan of current incandescant quite a bit. that said, the problem really is jewish greed here. we know incandescents could live much longer and we know why energy prices are as high as they needn't be. we're not talking progress here. we're talking avoiding the jew.

>>512312236
