    You have no idea what you’re talking about. LEDs last a lot longer and are way more durable. Ive work in film production, and these things are more efficient and feasible to control than Incandescents. Dogebags think they can pretend to be experts at everything like daddy Trump.

    That seems like a you problem. Don't cheap out on leds and you save money. It's that simple.

    The incandescent light bulb executive order and the Gulf of America executive order i put in the same bucket of "I don't care". It doesn't really harm people much but I understand the purposes of these executive orders is to throw useless treats to his fans while they privatize the federal government.

    This is Trump populism. Low hanging fruit trivial **** that is popular but doesn't tangibly effect the material conditions of the average American is his populism...


    Not improving cost of living, not holding massive cooperations accountable for labor abuses etc.

    Yeah, because professional LED lighting is totally the same as the one at Wal-Mart.... We aren't talking about production gear, we are talking about the bulbs a granny buys at HEB.....

    If this is false advertising by Walmart, then luckily we have entities like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to fix this...

    Its not important enough for you to care but it is important enough for you to b**** about it, I'll I'm saying is incandescent lighting isn't exactly this huge terrible bad thing that Trump shouldn't be trying to bring back. Expensive LED's are not consumer friendly period unless companies are to be held accountable for making quality products possibly maybe even here in the U.S... You aren't siding with these multibillion dollar companies making cheap products that last less than incandescent in order to make more profit with planned obsolescence... right?

    If Walmart is selling led bulbs and lying about their lifetime then maybe the CPFB should get on the case

    This isn't about false advertising bruh, this is about the fact that those 5000K bulbs is what most people will pick up due to cost but you know and I know that that 9 year warranty is under the absolute best circumstance and very few people will truly get 9 years out of it.... All companies do this, people buy sub 5 second 0-60 cars thinking thinking their $hit is going to be quick and then it isn't because that advertised 0-60 was done by a professional driver under the best condition and altitude. Its technically not false advertisement. Once again, there is a cheaper option for bulbs that would be more consumer friendly. If you don't like them don't buy them but stop acting like this is some bad thing... Its not.... I'm ok with it...

    Anything advertised as "daylight" is roughly around 5000k

    I found a cheap one for you. 9 year life. If it's false contact CFPB.

    Hope this helps you out in solving your bulb problem.

    Also aren't incandescent light bulbs naturally lower color temp with more yellow?

    Also for my house we bought like ten of these:
    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-...Rmj0xQZmSO_f4fiDc7vw6JF0UPELgZ_BoCCBsQAvD_BwE

    No smart hub system required. Just Wi-Fi. Lasted for 4+ years so far for all 10 and guess what...


    You get the entire color temperature spectrum! I can do disco dance night with these bulbs.

    Government fraud exists in mass ironically through the private public partnership in government where private equity constantly tries to steal tax money.

    A bunch of tech billionaire monarchist freaks who are addicted to privatization aren't the people to find it.

    It's like asking a pack of wolves to give advice on securing a sheep pen.

    A person raised as a Muslim who doesn't believe in God is not the most qualified person to say what Jesus would do.

    That's what I'm saying, the cheapest LED bulbs last less and are going to be 4000K or above which can cause eye strain. This is what more people gravitate towards because not everyone want's to buy your $13 bulbs a piece.... I'm in Real Estate, I mainly work with investments and when I'm about to list I go out of my way to find the temps that more so favors a space and those 5000k bulbs really cheapen everything.

    All I'm saying is that having an old school incandescent option isn't a bad thing, you don't have to buy them but if they can provide adequate lighting and las longer while costing less why not have the option? I know why, because Trump is implementing it and orange man bad....

    Let me help you out more then.

    https://www.homedepot.com/pep/EcoSm...7qFMW-JZ--UQF67-_jBoC3icQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    2500k two pack for 6 bucks, 9 year life.

    I showed you a 12 dollar bulb that will last for many more years that has wifi and full RGB spectrum of colors. I was just showing you what I do. Not that this is the cheapest option available for your needs.

    But spending 100 dollars on 10 bulbs that light up my entire place with full RGB control from my phone where the bulbs probably will last another decade is well worth the money for me.

    Based on being used just 3 hours a day

    Thanks for the most boring and pointless argument I have had in my entire life... Cheap LED bulbs arent great... That's it.... Why continue? Do you work for PHILLIPS or something?

    5 year warranty?

    So I get free replacements for a bulb for 5 years when an incandescent bulb lasts like a few months.

    Bad engineering management giving a 5 year warranty by that company then if your claim of these bulbs lasting months is true. They must be losing a lot of money.

    Lol, bruh you love to argue.... It literally says LIMITED WARRANTY, incidental or consequential damages are excluded. Even then very few people will go through the hassle of warrantying a bulb out because no one is keeping a receipt for a 4 pack of Home Depot light bulbs. You know what would be better? Better bulbs.... I'm tired of this convo, can we move on to other things Trump does to hurt your fweelings?
