Incandescent light bulb replacements

Stormin Mormon · 2012-03-04T02:51:10+00:00

At my church, we have a lot of "can lights" in the ceiling. Theyhad been taking out the 150 watt filament bulbs, and using CF"curly cue" bulbs. Now they are installing LED flood lights, andare totally pleased with them.They T-30 are about $40 each, and can't remember. 18 wattspower draw, is it? Brighter actually than the 150 watt filamentbulbs that had been in there. The flood light style throws the lightdown and out, instead of bouncing around the tin can.I don't have any can lights. But, they do offer "corn cob" shapedLED on Ebay. The CF bulbs I have in, are still working. And somestraight bulb fluorescents I've got for various uses. I'm not spending$7 per bulb just yet on the LED. Maybe later?I had (about year 1988) a lamp over my work bench. When I'd turnthe grinder on, the bulb would blow. I blew through (sorry, not funny)a four pack of Phillips, and then had a GE, or was it Sylvania. Anyhow,the different brand lasted a lot longer.I wonder if the LED corn cob bulbs will stand up to vibration? At sevendollars a bulb, what's the pay back time? LONG time, I'm sure.Christopher A.

Not when it pitch black outside. The incandescent 'Party Bulb' is a deep green. The CFL, is closer to chartreuse.

Heat (IR) lamps have been around for generations. Some have red glass to block almost everything, except IR.

For people on the spectrum - that's all florescent bulbs.
