Wanted to check out this new type of bulb. It seems that it might be best for remote installations where dust buildup might be a flame problem of some sort. Or, in an application where a child might be burned gently if exploring such a thing. Truly hopeful for price reduction.
Thinking remote locations for fill light…
You’d suggest…

Do you have direct link to tiphero regarding the 20 min first time use? For fluorescents, 100hr burn-in time is considered normal, and recommended by lamp manufacturers…

CFL´s do not last as long as their rating, they break very easily and watt rating are not realistic. I do not think they are really cost efective; I have gone back to incandescent and I turn them off when they are not being used.

Since LED Bulbs are so “dim” thus far, I have an idea: someone needs to come up with a 360 degree fixture so we can buy maybe 5 bulbs and screw them in on all sides to get a decent light. I don’t mind the price per se, but I am really bummed about the poor selection of “lumenage”. I use a Chinese paper lantern hung in my livingroom for main light, and that’s what I want to get for it. (Currently using CFL’s reluctantly.) Oh, and also, we need some standardisation. I have a bathroom light bar and while I try to buy the same type of bulb, it’s not easy to find standard looking LEDs!!! My final complaint is to the manufacturers of LED lights. Why, if all you have are low-lumen LEDs, do you cover them up with colored or white plastic? Don’t you know your bulbs will be brighter if you use clear materials??? Happy customers, anyone???

6000 hours life, not even as efficient as a CFL and about 4 times the price? Doesn’t seem any better than anything else and at least the other bulbs are already here. This is still in the works!

You don’t wan’t Mercury accumulating where you habitate,so far iv’e broken four CFLs through common mishaps(they break easily).
I know it’s a small amount,but it will accumulate and it is definitly hazardous.There is recommended proceedure,you have to clean this without (further contamination)making it airbourne or spreading it all over.You can argue It’s a miniscule amount but there are already dozens of mercury sources and should we all be eagerly bringing more into our homes?
Tried out a lower watt bulb Ace had and loved the spectrum so I’m determined to get at least the most used lamps retrofitted.I think 30 fixtures around my house although daily about seven might light so I have to have lets say three 13w/100w and the remainder 7w/60w … needless to say the price has to get lower before the whole house would be equiped.
But eventually . . . .

The big advantage of LEDs over all fluorescent technologies in the home environment is that they are not sensitive to being cycled dozens of times per day. Fluorescents work well in offices and factories where they can be turned on once and left on for hours, but more than about five cycles per day tends to be very hard on them.

A secondary advantage over at least the current crop of CFLs in particular is that LEDs are not particularly sensitive to orientation. In our home the majority of the lighting is provided by base-up bulbs; while CFLs are available in that configuration, they are not the norm. One set of track lights in particular can reliably cook the ballast of a CFL in about a month of normal use; we’ve given up for now and returned to incandescents for that application until the price of LEDs comes down a bit further.

In any event, we have almost certainly bought the last fluorescents that we will ever need for our house. The few that we have in stock will tide us over for a year or so; all new purchases will be LED unless an even better technology comes down the pike.
