Three different light sources - what do you think guys?
Just learning how to use my phone's camera settings lol. The lamps are as follows:

-Old Industrial Lighting Products 60w frosted incandescent

-Sylvania 12w Micro-Mini Living Spaces CFL

-EcoSmart 8w LED

What do you think guys? The incandescent is the warmest of the three, but the differences are subtle.

I've had one of those ecosmart things in my chanilier for about 8 months so far without any light output loss... They seem to be good quality, I have run mine at least 3 hrs everyday

My favourite is the Mercury Vapour lamp in the middle then the incandescent, then CFL then LED

Those LED lamps are pretty good quality. LEDs are sure enough the best light source out there. But they still can be improved.
gailgrove   [Dec 23, 2010 at 09:01 PM]
NO WAY are LEDs the best lighting source, thats all I'll say Shocked
TiCoune66   [Dec 23, 2010 at 09:38 PM]
Ewww incandescent ... but that LED though! Razz

Nah, I'm kidding LOL XD. But LEDs are still a developing technology, they could impress us in the future! The remote-phosphor design from Philips will likely be the future of LED lamps.

Out of those three, the incandescent is my favorite!
I might change my mind if the the middle bulb was one of the choices! Very Happy
Silverliner14B   [Dec 23, 2010 at 11:49 PM]
Yup the inc is my favorite too. That middle bulb is a Luxor 250w self ballasted merc, same shape as a 300w-500w PS35 incandescent.
Form109   [Dec 24, 2010 at 01:51 AM]
incandescent is my favorite here,followed by the CFL,the LED is dead last. Razz
TiCoune66   [Dec 24, 2010 at 02:02 AM]
You don't even like that vintage Luxor 250W self-ballasted merc in the middle Devonte?? Shocked Ya have baaad tastes in lighting, tsk tsk... Laughing

I kid I kid XD
Form109   [Dec 24, 2010 at 03:57 AM]
i didn't even notice it!....it'd be a nice lamp to have,but i like Regular Mercs better.

I like the incandescent the most then the SBMV, followed by the CFL and the LED.
A_lights   [Dec 24, 2010 at 05:51 PM]
The SBML is my favorite then the LED then incandescent and then the CFL
Silverliner14B   [Dec 24, 2010 at 06:10 PM]
@A_lights, why did you pick the LED over incandescent? Just curious that's all.
A_lights   [Dec 24, 2010 at 07:07 PM]
I really like the light color thats all
GullWhiz   [Dec 24, 2010 at 07:52 PM]
#1 Incandescent, #2 MV, #3 LED, #4 CFL...

For my using choices to USE them in my house...I probably would use LEDs because I can't afford electrical bills Wink The LED I have the black GE does me wonderfully so far although it has a narrow beam....but I have had it lit all day almost daily and no noticeable if not nay at all dimming yet....
DimBulb   [Dec 24, 2010 at 08:24 PM]
I'm not sure which is my least favorite, CFL or LED. The only LEDs I've really used are for the tail/brake lights & instrument cluster in my car. The tail/brake lights have lasted for years but the instrument cluster lights keep failing.(cheap China LEDs)

Jace, maybe you should move in Quebec Razz , electricity costs about 10¢/kWh here!
Silverliner14B   [Dec 25, 2010 at 02:33 AM]
But there are not a lot of incandescents left in quebec sadly.
TiCoune66   [Dec 25, 2010 at 02:46 AM]
Indeed Sad Even the 50W R20s are gone here! Only the 45W ones...

In Cranston, RI, the price is $0.14 per kWh. Sorta pricey. Confused My favorites are as follows: (1) incandescent, (2) SBMV, (3) CFL, and (4) LED. I prefer using incandescent, but during these "tough" times, i'm OK with CFL. I know that once a CFL breaks, my dad won't but them ever again. I keep telling my dad to but the sylvania CFLs, but he keeps buying the GE Helicals. I have 3 in my room and the newer ones buzz and take a few seconds to actually begin to come on. Rolling Eyes
