[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 491517, member: 1607"] I wonder what the real carbon-footprint comparisons are between a traditional 'less energy efficient lamp', with cheaper production and no fancy electronics to make the light work -vs- Energy efficient low running costs but high manufacturing and replacement costs, possibly 18months or less later? Especially if the LED is built into the light fitting as well. I am not convinced all of these "green, eco-friendly, climate crisis compatible, energy saving" lamps are all they are cracked up to be. But I am 100% sure a lot of manufactures have been filling the pockets of their directors and shareholders with profits from their sales. Can't remember if it was somewhere on here, or elsewhere, but isn't there some evidence that installations with higher supply voltages 245v+ have higher early failures compared to 225v or lower.
