The most insulting thing about LED lightbulbs that the author touches on is the claim that "they last at least 10 years", when in practice about 50% of them in my experience go bad within 2 years. Granted I should probably buy better quality bulbs, but given my experience, I am hesitant to drop more money on a potential failure.

Not all LED light is bad, architectural-grade LED fixtures that have external drivers, 0-10v dimming, 90+ CRI, plus reflectors and diffusers output high quality light. They’re also designed to last for 50,000 hours or more.

Most consumer grade LED lamps are shit, the driver is built into the base and they can’t shed enough heat so they degrade quickly and die, and a lot of people just buy 5000k lamps that put out 1500 lumens which looks harsh and artificial. A 2700k lamp that puts out 800 lumens will look much closer to an incandescent lamp, I buy Philips lamps personally and they work well.
