> An LED bulb provides the same amount of light as an incandescent while using 90 percent less electricity

It’s a nice idea, pretty cool to light the entire house for pennies an hour.

> and lasting 25 times longer

I refuse to believe it. It may be possible but in practice even “quality” LED bulbs have either awful QC, intentionally engineered obsolescence, or both.

About a year ago I replaced every bulb in my house with upper end Phillips LED bulbs, probably 50 or more of them.

20% of them have already failed.
