These dinky little things are hilariously cheap, last years on end, spit out so much light for so little energy, etc.

Very grateful for LEDs!

    That’s one subtle generational divide gen alpha is going to have, thinking of light bulbs as being, by default, things that only get replaced once in a blue moon.

    Thar being said, the sooner “Watt equivalent” dies and light bulb packaging just categorizes them by lumens and K, the better.

      Ngl I haven’t (consciously) noticed the usage of “watt equivalent” lately.

      As an older gen z I still remember asking for a CFL in my bedroom because the damn incandescent bulbs kept burning out.
