Is this viable?* Pros and cons?* I would value your opinions.
Pros..
They come on instantly to full output, last considerably longer,
cheaper to run.
Cons..
None really, though some complain about the light spectrum.
I converted all of my regularly used/regularly on lights, over to LED
12 months ago - not a single failure so far. They vary from 3w to 9w.
Just to be clear, I did only swap out the ones which we use often - I
didn't do centre lights and some were 22w CFL's.
One difference is that with a pendant LED bulb very little light goes
upwards.
That is one thing I noticed when I relamped 2 years ago. There are now
better LEDs that do not do this.
