I'm not sure why a LED bulb costing £1 should necessarily be inferior.
It must have reached the stage now that the manufacturing costs of LED
bulbs is starting to reach that of manufacturing costs of filament bulbs
and they used to be on sale at much less than £1.

Thats just plain silly with the fancy bulbs like the Philips Hues.

99.999% of the population will not be buying Philips Hues.

But they will be using LED bulbs that cost
more to make than an incandescent bulb.

I doubt that unless they have more money than sense, which of course some have.
Others might just do it to show off, like having jewlery on their watches.


I'll bet all these gimmicky user configurable bulbs will just be used with
a simple on/off switch once the novelty has worn off

How much are you betting on that ?

How will you prove it either way.
How many times would yuo expect someone to adjust the colour temeprature of such a bukld, 3 or 4 times an hour a day a week ?
