#NUANCE NEEDED.
Alec is making a point specifically about the 1000 hour maximum which was for INCANDESCENT lightbulbs. You know, the ones that aren't used anymore.
However, modern LED lightbulbs are typically over-driven and under-cooled. This drastically shortens their lifespan and worsens efficiency. But this might just be because it's harder to sell a $20 light that lasts for 20 years than it is to sell a $5 light that lasts for 5-10.
TBF, I don't think anyone expects a TLDR to contain the same nuance or detail as a 30 minute video.
Know of any A19 LED bulbs that last for an obscene amount of time?
Or maybe it’s because they both claim to last 20 years and we have no way to compare
