Current LEDs are pretty cheap and comparatively sustainable (to other lighting technology), but lots of LED based lighting devices ship with:

- non replaceable batteries (flashlights)

- unreliable drivers that fail before the LED does, or kill the LED by heat or excessive voltage

Happy to see people working on new LED tech but the downstream effects of selling disposable stuff has to be much worse?
