--- Quote from: 001 on February 07, 2019, 02:26:09 pm ---SMD LEDs are foolish vintage crap. Try new technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_filament --- End quote --- It all depends on your application. If you have an existing fixture fitting for a conventional bulb, yes good replacement. If you have downlighters , or ceiling fixtures or cabinet ligting or spots you don't need diffuse 360o light, you only need light shining in a restricted angle, so led smds are preferred. |

I wonder if it's the filament or switching electronics which are the limiting factor in this respect. |
