Old school FTW!
Most commercially available LED lamps run far too hot for reliable use indoors. I only use such lamps as laying stimulation lighting in our chicken houses (or one of them at least; the chickens in the other one are too young to lay) during the winter, as the low operating temperature in them (they are unheated) is ideal for LEDs. LEDs as general lighting is just another stupid green fad being pushed by a bunch of idiots with no understanding of how anything works. Their understanding of lighting is that the light turns on the switch is flipped and that efficiency is good. In the same fashion, their understanding of electricity is that it comes out of this thing with holes in it mounted in the wall. If they are really smart (for a greenie), they know that that cabinet full of funny looking switches in a back room or the basement is somehow involved. LEDs are great for indicators and low level illumination, but for anything else better things exist.
