I thought LED’s would have replaced standard light bulbs by now ayway, without the phony environmentalists pushing them down our throats. They last longer, take less electricity, and aren’t that expensive. Tungsten filiments are starting to seem archaic, like the old vacuum tube.

Can you point me to a LED 100 Watt incandescent light output equivalent for under $50?

This statement is about 5 to 7 years premature IMO. The LED technology is still relatively new but is racing along at an ever increasing rate. Most ROI cost analysis are still coming up just shy in the commercial market and way off the market in the residential market.

Secret: Eventually, LEDs will get there and changing bulbs in your house will be a rare event, even though one costs you about $10. Pick the first company to make the technology work for the market and buy some stock. ;o)
