I won't even start, am sticking with incandescents at a typical cost of
about 25 cents each or less.


Compare real cost and you will change your mind. Those cheap bulbs are
more expensive than the $2,50 LED. At my rate, 1,000 hours of operation
for the cheap bulb is $11.40. The LED will cost $1.90 to operate. Look
at the life of the bulb for say, 10,000 hours and it is even worse as
the same LED bulb is still burning while you've repaced a bunch of those
quarter bulbs. .

OK. you can brag about your cheap bulbs, but I'll put the money in my
pocket.
