LED light E27 as a lowpower light source

<< < (4/4)

ghurd:
Avoid the 'high power' LEDs if you want any efficiency, or light quality.  They make less light than a quality 'regular' bulb of the same current.

Not so much maturing.
Mostly trying to make money with poor designs and poor LEDs, and greatly overdriven poor LEDs.

A 25 cent #1156 is really bright at 48 volts! For a second or 2.
Good LEDs can be made bright and efficient, its just not cheap enough to do it for most grid people, compared to other things. People want brighter than what they have, and cheaper. Case in point: Why doesn't everyone use CFLs?  Because they can be had 4/$1, while the CFLs are still over $3 each.
And it is much more complicated to make a truely efficient LED bulb for 120 or 220VAC.   LED bulbs are much more suited for 12 to 48 VDC systems.
It is better to build them yourself with a good design and good parts.
Am I on another 'rant'?
