To me, LEDs feel like diet, sugar-free versions of my favourite soft drinks that got ruined by the UK sugar tax (looking at you, Pepsi…)

There is my opinion:

I generally don't have a hate about LED, but there are just many downsides of them:

First of all, this is about discharge bulbs compared to LED. As in discharge you always get that good neat warm up, unlike LEDs they just turn on, and all done. Boring.

Second of all, it depends on who makes them. There can be some really good quality made LEDs but some also are very badly made, such as flickering after a few months, a few LEDs dying after some time in use and also absolute all LEDs dead after functioning after some time in use. Overall in Incandescent, they only just turned off when the bulb died. No flickering from what I know of. Same goes to discharge bulbs, except when they're about to die, sometimes they turn on for 1-5 mins and then turn off for a 1 min, then turn back on for 1-5 mins and then turn of again, and repeated that process but the bulb dies.

Here is the good side I have with LEDs:

First of all, LEDs are usually either cold or warm when on, depending on colour temperature. On Incandescent and Discharge, when they turned on for a few minutes, touching it is absolutely painful, and maybe may even burn your hand...due to the temperature they release when working.

And that's all for mine. So I could say it's mid, depending on what manufacture makes the LED bulbs.

Did I commit any mistakes by accident? Let me know if so.

@Eleco_SR304 your previous comment on the 16th

("Polam Gostynin OUS 400 to Elgo Adeco.

Adecos' are pretty much non existant in Poland tbf.")

Had nothing to do with the following string of comments. Nobody mentioned polish lights except you. I believe Föx just misunderstood it.

Ah yes, I understand. So I guess that was not to me. The point that he put no Username got me confused, and also about "No Name" part, as back then in Poland, no streetlights were named. It was written as OUS / OUR / OZR / OZS / ORZ / etc. with then given a wattage with a written number.

I Apologise @lightsofpahrump, just my misunderstanding...now I feel really dumb 💀

He was talking about how they would brand lights a billion names and they were all really the same thing, you know those American 70 watt Hps “Tallpacks” or you know the super generic Wallpack that every building has had on it? Like that, the same thing, rebranded by every company. Those Yard lights would be made by Regent, Utilitatech, Lights of America I believe, just a bunch of brands to one product.

I'm confused. Was that then to me of what then? Because "No name" is for the OUS 400. It has no name. Just u know it.
