Jeeezz. All they require is a small capacitor in them and we will,
finally, be able to change lights bulbs in the dark.

'cept they don't last that long in real usage.

I have a 14W pot lamp and you will burn your hand on it in the fixture.

The efficiency of LED bulbs, including the lens and packaging and the
ballast is about 15- 22 %...the rest is heat and LED elements can't take it.

That's what all the huge heat sinks are on the bulbs for. Close them in..in
real applications and they burn out.

Ask a traffic signal guy. The LED traffic signals lights are replaced every
3-5 years depending on how many segments are burned out.

It's an LED hoax by the manufacturers.

I just have mine in a floor lamp, pointing straight up. I expect the
bulb to outlive me.

Dave : Nah - The LEDs may last for 100K Hours
-but- the other Parts of the Bulbs themselves fail.

Have a few that have been running for 5+ Years
and others that Fail after 1~2 Years.

Talking $10+ LEDS and ~$45 LEDS that Do NOT
Last 100K Hours.

For most consumers the newer Commercial Cold
Cathode CFL Light Bulds may be the better 'choice' :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_cathode
Rated up to 25K Hours -versus- 8K Hours for a regular
CFL Bulb. Plus a fraction better on the Power usage.
Plus Plus Less Mercury Too...
