  Poor lighting is no laughing matter.

  Zero. Efficient germans use efficient LED.

    LED bulbs still exist and are more efficient to use than LED fixtures where you have to change the entire lamp instead of a bulb!

    In fact, I’ve got a room with six such fixtures and only one still works.

      Right? I don’t understand how we got here (I mean, I kind of do, but still). I will refuse to buy non-socketed lamps. Having them break and instead of opening the case and quickly changing out an LED bulb, having to replace the entire thing and screw new holes into the ceiling sounds like a complete nightmare.

      I will refuse to buy that AIO trash as long as I live.

      The LED bulbs barely die. I am still using first gen bulbs i bought over a decade ago. I’ve only had 1 die on me so far. Versus the monthly replacement of some heat bulbs and always having a box of spares around.

      Changing lightbulbs is kind of a thing from the past. Old fashioned fillament heat bulbs are hardly in use in Germany nowadays.

  What? Do lightbulbs get stuck if you tell a joke?

    You must be German

      Probably partly. My last name is a German name, but I think we’re more Eastern European muts.
