EcoRenovator - View Single Post - LED vs. CF vs. Incandescent (2012/2013 DOE testing)

I second the suggestion to buy name brands from a legitimate dealer. I have some LED bulbs going on 10 years of 6 to 10hours a day and are still going strong. Another good use is for outdoor lighting. My CFL on the porch didn't light quickly or well when the weather was cold (below zero F) but the LED uses less energy and is just as bright, and comes on instantly no matter the weather. Going on its 4th year with no problems.

Any one else have problems with radio interfernce with LEDs?
