EcoGeek Compares CFL Incandescent and LED Lightbulbs

This was an old comment about CFLs that you responded to. But I would honestly pay $10 per bulb if I did not have to buy these things from the melamine Chinese. Where are the 3 million US jobs Bill Clinton said that CFLs would create? I would do anything to buy them from America or at least from some Democratic allies such as Japan. Buying them from a country that has no environmental standards does not help the environment. CFLs are a wonderful technology but were not doing it right.

Fluorescent bulbs that are discarded in the trash will break and some mercury will be released into the environment. However, the use of mercury-containing bulbs for general indoor lighting makes good environmental sense. EPA website

What happens when the fan burns out? That happens much more often than the led going out I bet.

dude!!! this is cool!!!! can u imagine how much energy u r saving if u replace all ur bulbs from ur house for LEDs? pretty coo!!!

leds... but you still have ... books.

Got an led from marslight (after testing paulmann and osram and they´re mediocre right now) for 24 $ which is still too much. - but it´s bright and has a soft light (milky plastic bulb). I wonder why they don´t make a body with a lot of anodes and cathodes instead of piling single ones together.

No i just wanna break them...... :) it sounds funn!

incandescent $0.25
CFL $2.00
LED $50
Sorry but I don't have $200 to spend on light bulbs for one fixture or over $1500.00 to do my entire house. These are for sanctimonious rich people. Oh and CFL's suck

The CCFL still seems to be producing more light, when looking at the light reflecting off of his face.

What happens to the cooling elements of the LED when you encase it in a light fixture?
