ya, me too. I would very much like to find reasonably priced good LED ‘bulbs’ (light sources)!

OK, it’s 2012 now, and I still haven’t seen these on the shelves.

So I take it they built one of these 60 years ago and it only just stopped working then? If they didn’t then this claim that it will last for 60 years is untested and may as well be called out for what it is. Bullshit.

”
all 40 watts”

well, most of it. It’s more
efficient.

If I recall, most of the wattage that goes in incandescent light bulbs go towards heat. You only get 10-20 watts of actual light out of them.

When they say 40 watts for these type of lights, all 40 watts goes towards lighting the thing. There’s not much heat loss in LEDs

They each burnt out within a few weeks a a couple months after buying.
Cheap garbage from China. No quality control. Sam’s Club should be
ashamed of themselves selling such low value product!

Wow, this one is really one of the great invention forever. As I really want to appreciate to the Cambridge university for the developing $3 LED bulb. And the main feature of this bulb is, this one really works for 60 years. Just a tremendous work.

Cities are already using LED street lights because of lower maintenance costs. They are nice and bright. We also see measures in place to prevent light pollution.

Since these bulbs are usually “subsidized” by local power companies, can they PLEASE be made in the U.S.,
employing American workers in plants operating under U.S. environmental rules and regulations? Otherwise, it’ll be the usual Chinese (virtually) slave labor,
in heavily-polluting coal-powered plants, further affecting OUR air, too.

I bought these. A waste of money. They each burnt out within a few weeks a a couple months after buying. Cheap garbage from China. No quality control. Sam’s Club should be ashamed of themselves selling such low value product!

Don, It is possible. Lightbulbs made today are astonishing; they last longer due to the fact they use less energy which in turn saves you money. You should look more into it check out this site you will leanr a lot http://www.T5retrofitkit.com

Even though it ‘can’ sell for $3, it’s more likely it will sell for 90-$100..

There goes my job. I will be replaced by a $3.00 light bulb that in not only cheap, but is not dangerous. That little CFL kept me busy cleaning them up when a drunk would drop one. Maybe I should start a firm that makes these bulbs, get federal money and make my millions. I better do it before the Chinese do it. Since you can make the LEDs for a penny that is 300 times profit.

Sorry, but 40 watt equivalent is not enough light for a piss ants reading lamp. When an LED gives me enough lumens to light a room like a 150 watt incandescent, then I will be interested.

Any money-back guarantee if it only lasts 50 years?

Potentially very promising. Of course, the devil is in the details — what is the total lumen capability and the watts/lumens ratio? They may be more efficient that CFLs, but can they provide the same brightness?
