Comparing LED to CFL and traditional lightbulbs, reviewing the pros and cons of different styles of LED bulbs and sharing our experience with a home lit by LED lights. Thanks to AntiTerrorist for the inspiration. :) Below are links to some eBay sales of LEDs I have shared with individuals, but thought they might also be helpful right here under the video. First group are cheaper, but from Red China. Second group are sales in the U.S.A., but a little pricier. Hope it helps. (Lots of stuff on Amazon and other lighting-specific sites, as well.)

GROUP 1:

A single "cheap-o" bulb, ships from Hong Kong, typical dome-shaped, 25w-ish equivalent:

A single "cheap-o" bulb for lamps, also from Hong Kong, available in White or Warm Light:

A single "cheap-o" from Hong Kong 60w equivalent bulb, shaped very similar to traditional bulbs (cylindrical, as opposed to dome-shaped) - THESE ARE THE ONES WE'RE BUYING FOR OUR BACK-UP IN CASE WE EVER HAVE TO REPLACE ANY MORE BULBS ANYWHERE. Note- these are not "warm white", the typical, favored choice of lumens.

  • i have this bulb from about 9 years ago that still works, not sure what kind it is. it doesnt say HG on it but it says UL. know what kind of bulb that is?

  • @marpoq United Laboratories, I think. My dad found this old ring shaped bulb at a yard sale for a quarter, which he thought might end up being a fluorescent light bulb, but it ended up being a halogen! Probably sucked about 60-75 watts, or somewhere thereabouts. Lasted about 10 months, if I recall.  Sorry yours broke! Maybe it's a sign to switch to LED. We haven't had an LED die out, break or malfunction in any way in the year we've had them!

  • @YounaTuber i took a look at it again and found out it is a cfl! i put it in a plastic bag and a glass jar and it is sitting outside now. i think i will take a look at buying a LED light or two

  • @marpoq Sounds like the best place for it ;) Yep, we're planning on investing in more LED lighting and 12v appliances. I'll probably do another video about then when we get our hands on the goods.

  • @YounaTuber Underwriter's Laboratories. Halogens are used here in France and I keep telling people, these are so dangerous! Can you help me find the video about the Minnesota light bulbs which have been able to surveille us for decades? I need a direct link, please friend me. Thank you.

  • Thanks for the info.

    I had just looked up how to make ear candles.

    Then looked at some of your other clips.

    Who'd have thought trying to find a way to use up my old bees wax would lead me to changing the light bulbs in my home.

    Ahhh, the magic of you tube!

  • @YounaTuber I prefer direct links but noted this, thanks! I am disabled and direct links work way better for me. Anyway, we are YT pals now, it could be way easier. I have been getting fantastic direct links from earthvisitor3 and when I like the people a lot, we switch over to personal email. I have a website, cutecatfaith d com. Gotta run to the post office but I DID NOTE THIS ONE AND APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. My keyboard is French and so is the software -- it gets dizzying! xo

  • ugh! i just broke it trying to put it back on. i loved that bulb :(
