[rant on]The story of CFLs is littered with crappy Chinese units that take forever to come to full light and short life. The idiots who banned incandescent lights forgot that some applications need full light quickly and would be turned off shorty after you turn them on (think bathroom or closet use).

I dislike the light from most LEDs. A few years ago traffic lights started using LEDs. A few years later they are hard to find. Do you think this was an accident?. [/rant off]
