Nothing but Spam.
Who would've guessed low energy lightbulbs save money.
Nevermind, the article is literally just a paragraph about a single brand of lightbulbs OP is trying to get you to buy.
But, if you're interested, here's the Non-Referral link to the lightbulbs in question:
Alrighty
I guess your anecdotal evidence and my anecdotal evidence are in a dead heat then.
I agree with you on their toxicity. But that wasn't what was being debated here. Jesus, this sub thinks everyone's a shill. All I did was point out your wildly inaccurate claims.
Here's a 16-pack of name brand for $25 ($1.57 each).
Over 10 years (typical lifetime, 3 hrs/day), each one saves $60 in electricity and replacement incandescents. Even if you somehow burned through all 16 in one socket in 10 years, they'd be cheaper.
Still get warm though, make sure air can circulate.
I'm currently using these light bulbs half-and-half with warm whites and daylights. I went with these for exactly the same reasons you mentioned; less work and money. I wired up a bunch of normal light bulb sockets like a giant Christmas light. I feel like it wasn't much less work compared to setting up LED COBs with COB holders like in this guide.
One problem I have with this setup is the lack of adequate heat sinks. These bulbs heat up more than I'm comfortable with, and I can't do much about it. I mean it should be fine, since it's Philips and it's meant to be on all day as normal household lights, but it melts Mylar on contact and I don't like that. I would really like to stick a huge chunk of aluminum on it. It's just a matter of preference, though. You might not mind it at all since you are using something way hotter than LED light bulbs.
One nice thing about LED light bulbs compared to CFL other than the higher efficiency is that the lighting globe part isn't hot at all, so the leaves can be literally right on it and be happy (as long as they don't touch the hot part right behind the frosty globe and get fried instantly).
25 euros for one seems insane. This is what LED pricing looks like here in the states, it shouldn’t be THAT far off over there, especially not 10-20x more. $26.01 for a 16 pack of LEDs.
The tech has exploded recently, and is becoming mass produced, so I would recommend checking again at the prices. They may have changed dramatically in a couple of years.
Definitely sounds like defective/cheap bulbs then. These are what I use, and I've never had a problem with them in any kind of fixture, for what that's worth.
1 bad batch of these 4.5 star bulbs and I suck? https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Non-Dimmable-Frosted-Light-Bulb/dp/B01CAL1EMY/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=phillips+LED&qid=1570383929&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=8-5

I bought some LED lightbulbs 25% off- it’s a good deal if you need lightbulbs!
link to said deal
16 pack Philips 800 Lumen LEDs at $2 per bulb. And Philips seems to be one of the better brands for LEDs.
It would be a terrible idea to buy a $20 LED. Even if it lasts 20 years they still get dimmer over time. The last few years would be a light bulb that is still bright enough to be considered "functional" but clearly one that should be replaced. So don't consider buying a bulb for that price.
I've just gone with discounted CFLs which meant I paid less than $2/bulb, 8 of which qualify as being on for most of the time. The energy savings in those paid for the purchase of all bulbs in the house by the third year. Hopefully by the time I have to replace them the LEDs will be that cheap on average. Though, right now it looks like I can get them for around $2/bulb.

So if I didn't already have efficient bulbs, that wouldn't be a bad way to go now. But for the moment I'm saving, like you said, a small amount each year already with already-paid for bulbs. All of these cost designs only deal with switching from the old type of bulbs which is definitely worth it at this point even if it's a mild difference.
