LED HIGH POWERED 21 watt indoor lighting Light Emitting Diode vs Compact Fluorescent

These are 21watt, 11 watt LED light bulbs. There is also a 68 watt gigantic compact fluorescent bulb. With an ultra bright white roof and walls, you can illuminate grid free for a very low cost.

don't led lights go out like really often?

@seriouslyWeird no, the cheap ebay lights last about 1 year. The better quality lights last over many years. The bulbs are generally all the same, the electronics and e26 or mr16 base mountings are what can be an issue. My first cheap LEDs 3 years ago all had poor connections to the e26 screw so they were hard to apply to the socket and when removing they twisted and broke. Since the first batch I have had not problems. When an indoor bulb is used outdoors it will work but over time go bad.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE I keep mine on 24x7 365 for testing as the watt consumption is so low. If you turn them on and off, they will last years. So my experience with less expensive lights is 1 year continuous usage.

@SayNo2ClosedMinds :big LEDS are used to instead the down light and tube light in the indoor lighting ,if you know any wholesaler, will you let me know ,i want to to put some new style to let you know!

HOW ABOUT USING A* AA BATTERY* TO LIGHT A COMPACT FLORESCENT BULB?

LOOK UP JOULE THIEF LIGHTS & BE DAZZLED ;-)

@syndrome95 You could use a computer power supply, they have 3.3, 5v 12v outs and produce pretty nice power quality. You could use pots, voltage divider/resistor etc, and have a pretty long lasting led lighting solution, Running low voltage lines to your own custom made led assemblies made with built with bulk leds. Dropping the current 80% of rated across an LED will really improve life too!. If you did it right, you might never see your led's fail!

@ieldanth Fair comment. I agree with you. Just been looking into the driver circuits needed to run bunches of leds from mains power. Seems like the quality/expense of the circuit can effect the life of the bulbs. I pulled one of my Chinese bulbs apart and the driver circuit was only built from passive components. Nice and cheap but the wattage of the lamp may be higher than it could be and mains voltage fluctuations could damage the LEDs Also cheap bulbs cannot be dimmed properly.

Wow! You can buy really big CFLs and LEDs in the US. The biggest CFL I have seen in the UK is 21w the biggest LED 9W. I just hope those big LEDs come here soon.

Hi Wondering if you can advise/address basic lighting inside the home. Not light science stuff. I have track lighting in my kitchen that uses 7 lrg bulbs --and they burn out too often Each bulb is needed to throw decent kitchen light. Can I buy LED bulbs for that application? Thanks !

Very interesting. Do you know if these LED lights can be used in greenhouses?
