BoredSysAdmin Audioholic Slumlord Aug 21, 2007 15,621 0 113 New Joisey Dec 5, 2021 #19,671 Figured this would be a good place as any to share my latest frugality/home improvement project. We have a nice (but a bit older) floor lamp with two lights in it. One on top is 300w halogen rated for 5000 lumens. Clearly, it's very bright and very electricity hungry. Come winter shorter days I've noticed that lamp was getting much more frequent use. I got stuck for a while trying to address until I found this LED bulb: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B8XHBP8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00 Bought it (a pair) for$30 this BF. It's slightly up now at $34 (after coupon) per pair now. I can attest that 4000 lumens aren't an empty number - it's very bright indeed. Moved the old floor lamp to a rarely used guest bedroom. The kicker is this new LED bulb is only using 27W vs 300W on the old halogen crap, less a tenth of the power. There are more powerful LED bulbs, but most of them are too big to fit regular floor lamps. Last edited: Dec 5, 2021 Reactions: NINaudio

NINaudio Audioholic Samurai Jun 26, 2017 2,898 0 63 48 West Chicago, Illinois Dec 5, 2021 #19,672 I replaced all the in ceiling can lights in my old place with LED bulbs. The difference in heat output was quite noticeable. I've been sold on them ever since. When we moved to IL I replaced every bulb with an LED bulb. That was 3.5 years ago. I've only had one burnout just about 2 weeks ago.

BoredSysAdmin Audioholic Slumlord Aug 21, 2007 15,621 0 113 New Joisey Dec 5, 2021 #19,673 @NINaudio Well, I basically was sold on LED a long time ago. I replaced 99% incandescent bulbs, very few still CFL, but most are LED, including one in microwave over-the-range working light and inside the refrigerator. The real issue is most plain vanilla LED bulbs actually aren't that bright. 1k Lumens is the most you could get in a typical E26 A19 bulb (ie: same size and socket as most common household bulb). What was surprising part to me was that I was able to buy for not much money ($15 per bulb) a light bulb which isn't much bigger than the A19 size which is FOUR times brighter. Reactions: panteragstk

The cheapo bulbs at Home Depot are terrible and only lasted me a year. Trial and error have gotten me to a brand called Sunco that is been pretty good so far. Reactions: BoredSysAdmin

Dan Audioholic Chief Feb 8, 2004 775 0 43 65 Dec 6, 2021 #19,677 Light bulbs don’t matter. I’m sitting here in the dark because I got rear ended on the way in to work today. Some electrician in the company car probably on his cell and didn’t notice the traffic had come to a stop on I-270. Mostly fender damage. I got a stiff neck and a mild concussion. So now I get a couple of days off to sit in darkness and be bored. Could have been worse all in all. Reactions: panteragstk
