Bring back incandescent light bulbs

Fam, you DO realize you're being trolled, right?

FUCK YOU

This thread was incredibly illuminating.


Don't worry, I will see myself out.

But what kind of bulb will you use so you aren't walking in the dark?

And you DO realize that post is from 2 years ago, correct?

uh......

Fuckin hell. I KNOW better then to fucking browse the farms on a Saturday night when I'm half cut.

They make softer CFLs and LEDs that looks identical to old school incandescent bulbs. They cost like 20% more but they're still reasonable

Torch master race here, what the heck is going on in this thread

We should just light our homes with an endless supply of the liquid found in glowsticks, and an activating agent. It'd look cool as heck.

get the fuck off my board with your 90's kids nostalgia over fucking lightbulbs and get a life jesus christ

There is a major issue with incandescents being banned. They are cheap and easy to manufacture, meaning more competition and this threatens the lightbulb cartel (yes thats real). LEDs flicker worse than fluorescents without added hardware in them due to AC. Incandescents also have naturally high CRI ratings compared to LEDs and fluorescents unless you get more expensive bulbs. It also mimics "fire light" much better so causes less sleeping problems for humans and are less likely to cause migraines in those who are prone. Despite the argument "LEDs last longer" its simply untrue, well made incandescents are able to last indefinitely and the idea they don't come from shitty manufactured christmas lights and not screw in bulbs. Its difficult to find LED bulbs which mimic incandescents well and aren't just low CRI "yellow" leds.

Here you can see "warm white" leds have completely different wavelengths than incandescent bulbs. A "trick" leds commonly use is using more green light because it appears brighter to the human eye compared to other wavelengths with similar intensity, "cool white" leds add a bunch of blue light to offset it but you can still see the amount of green light they use.
Fluorescent are interesting because of the narrow bands of light, it causes a low CRI and almost grayscale feeling, kind of neat under certain circumstances.

I haven't heard of either of these before, but now I'm actually curious. What would you recommend as a good incandescent light bulb?

The best LED bulbs you can buy are made by a belarussian autist; http://sunlikelamp.com/

Yeah but I can have gay rainbow lights in my circuits with LED, get 0wned fluorescent chudz
