Interesting...
Thanks for that data.
it's certainly a lot cheaper overall.
I know that LED's are very reliable when they connected up to a suitable circuit which controls the nominal current through the LED and limits it to say 10 mA, they will last for 15 years and more. ( 131400 hrs )
We use them as PT indicators on CT metering as an add on and meters from 1990 still in service have the LED's going as bright as when they were put in.
In bulk LED lamps I'm not to sure yet as for the reliability.
I have seen traffic lights with LED's fail or loose segments of 5 LED's or so fail within the cluster of lamps over the last 2 years.
It comes all back to design and how cheap it can be made. (China)??
Eventually they will become the standard for house lighting, perhaps 10 years away.
See what happens.
Also have a look under the topic "The end of the bulb" where we discuss pro's and cons re LED lamps.

Ray
