Default LED filament bulbs

What an odd idea. Make a super-duper LED lamp that emulates a pre-WW2
incandescent.


Well the "retro" type are available but the basic collection of
straight filament sticks are (mostly) the most effcient domestic
light bulbs out there at 100 lm/W. They are my bulb of choice now,
provided the price is right (£3 ish). Not had any failures in the
aproximate 9 months since starting to use 'em. Been disappointed with
the life of chip based LED bulbs.
