What if FleaBay suddenly develops a social conscience and bans the incandescents?

Okay, I’ll bite, what are OLES sheet lights; I’m a bit behind on reading my technical journals

And, you’re right, of course, about the heat-sinking vs. usable light issues; all of the GOOD LEDs run HOT, but not for long.

The automotive/vehicular retro-fits are particularly troublesome; we see lots of them with blown segments running around.

The OEMs though, not so much.

I have a big box of slightly used incandescent and halogen bulbs that I hope to save to eventually sell on eBay one day – long after they have been banned. If only I could find a compact form-factor CFL for use in my foyer chandelier and porch lanterns.

LEDs are coming along, but their lifetimes are very short if they overheat. The expensive LED lamps are mostly heat sinks. I’m going to hold out for OLED sheet lighting.

As you may or may not know, I have many fixtures using fluorescent bulbs for YEARS, so I actually have very few incandescent bulbs in my house.

However, I have retrofitted some of the table lamps (years ago) with the fluorescent technology of the day and have found them lacking in several ways.

Recently though, while strolling through one of the local big box home stores. One particular display caught my eye because it had a bright, white CFL lamp/bulb in the array of demo bulbs and it was fantastic! Good color and plenty of different wattage selections to choose from!

As I had already converted my regular florescent fixtures to daylight (or, near-daylight) lamps, I’m ready to make the switch throughout the rest of the house. Just as soon as I get through approximately 100-years worth of incandescents lying in the basement warehouse

More than likely though, I continue holding out for the LED equivalents to drop in price before going crazy again and doing a wholesale switch out.

BTW, 90+% of all of my flashlights are already LEDs and the new LED lamps and sockets are on hand for next year’s deck upgrade
