They havent made light bulbs that produce actual light in at least two decades. I cant take it its a concerted effort to remove all light everywhere and give us fake LED light

I've been looking for a good bulb, this seems like pretty perfect, but the most important number is the CRI, it needs to be 95+ otherwise everything is going to look grey like anyone taking a picture in indonesia
>>23964
you are retarded, 18W LED is equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb which was the only bulb that could on its own provide enough light for the whole room

>Nanlite PavoBulb 10C RGBWW
I got an RGB bulb from amazon once and returned it, white performance sucked, it was too dim, and had shitty CRI
this bulb seems much nicer, however, RGB is retarded, i toyed around with it for 10 minutes, and had no usecase, i actually ended up prefering the mixed RGB warm white instead of the native white

14W is equivalent to 100W that's true can confirm i got 14W bulbs at home and they are as bright as 100W incandescent used to be
so 18W LED must be insanely bright like 120W equivalent

incandescent are by nature 100 CRI retard, and LED flicker is when you buy shitty LED powered by PWM, some shitty PWM will be low enough for you to notice
all OLED screens are shitty flickering PWM, it was really shitty in the past, now they flicker faster so less noticeable

> announces to the world he's a retard who overpaid for traffic light bulbs
Not everyone is a child like you. Some of us bought the bulbs back when the incandescent ban was being discussed. They suck for home use. They were only created because electricity was cheaper than union labor changing the bulbs more often.

PWM is the dumbest way to control lights, it causes the on off flicker, better but more expensive way to control is voltage/current
i have better eyes than many so i can see flicker especially in my periphery, this is why i bought 5 Christmas light sets and returned 4 that flickered

You can make a Nernst lamp. It's just a piece of ziconium oxide rod with heat-resistant wires on each end. You have to pre-heat it somehow so it conducts, and it needs a ballast, but other than that, it's incandescent, and since it's already an oxide, it can't "burn out".

i never said incandescent bulbs have 90 cri
anyway most LEDs are dogshit and hard flicker or have way under 90 r9 cri
at least incandescents dont hard flicker even though they do flicker on ac
how come (((they))) get mad when you use real lightbulbs. like im sorry bro i just like melatonin

So average? Christmas lights flicker for the majority of the population. But people tolerate it for $3 strings of lights. Also you have a deteriorating neutral somewhere in your house's electrical

lol what the fuck is this clown world? 18W is what my R7s lamp uses with a LED bulb, as a replacement for a 200W halogen bulb. A 60W replacement LED bulb would be something like 5-6 watts at most, unless the bulbs are purposefully overdriven to burn out faster.

>My fucking god, cunt, are you lighting a modeling studio?
Ceiling lights used to take 3-5 120W incandescent, my 300W room lamp used 5000 lumen halogen bulbs. Trying to light a normal room with 1600lm only would leave the entire place too dim.

Most people will prefer more bulbs with less lumens.
IE, 2-3x 800-1200 lumen bulbs instead of 1-2 1600 lumen bulbs.
Lighting any room from a single bulb is dumb anyway.

Based. I built this 1000W (4x250W) IR heat cannon. Does wonders to your mitochondria in the winter and doubles as circadian activator (online spec sheets say over 2000 lumen per bulb).
The construction and grill is for safety since I read some reports of heat bulbs exploding if touched or touched with greasy hands, but on second thought it doesn't really feel that necessary. At its simplest it's just a few ceramic sockets screwed into a wooden plank.

Oh, it's very important. Grease will heat up faster and at those 200+ Celsius temperatures non-uniform heating puts a ton of stress on the surface of the bulb. Which form cracks. The protective glass on my reading lamp cracked too, probably because I kept touching it.
Halogen bulbs also run at several hundred degrees (Celsius!), so if they explode, the grill can help prevent, at least partially, any shards flying around.

A lamp in the corner is usually better than a single ceiling lamp in the middle of the room.
The light gets diffused as it bounces off the wall, making everything evenly lit with no sharp shadows under objects.
