Default Why do LEDs generate heat?

More light is better if the whole room is lit evenly. Which is why I
prefer strip lights to point sources. Much better if you're soldering
for example, you don't create shadows, as light can come to the
workpiece from all angles, no matter where your body/head/hands/tools are.

In the case I described, the lamp (a "helpful" person tuned on) was to
my side, almost the same direction as the back of the TV.

The lighting in all my rooms comes from striplights all over the ceiling, so everything is lit nice and evenly.

Is that really nice, sound more like yuo're living in a 1970s factory.


They're little LED strips, they don't look like those huge ballast driven flickery fluorescents.


It's still a strip light.


In shape perhaps, but not worthy of being called "1970s".
