The term "energy efficiency" is a myth, and we recently interviewed Mark Baker of the Soft Lights Foundation, who is suing the FDA on safety limits surrounding LEDs and the myth of efficiency:
I say we just get rid of government. Let's get rid of the problem altogether. We live in neither a free country or world when government can mandate, dictate, or regulate out of existence the choices of what we are supposed to be: free human beings. Government is the problem. More legislation and a new special protected class of light bulbs is not a long term solution. Big business is surely a problem, but it is government that keeps them a protected class, free from the whims of the public and it's desires while also disallowing competition from smaller companies or those that do not wish to follow arbitrary mandates that have nothing to do with "saving the world". If we wanted to "save the world" there should be more done on pollution (chemicals, toxins, by-products) and nothing to do with carbon - carbon is not a pollutant, but a necessary gas for life to thrive, hence the reason government (evil) wants to continually lower the bar to the point, eventually, carbon-based life-forms (us) will be non-existent (although that will probably happen before then due to war or chemical weapons-disguised-as-"vaccines"). Here's a radical idea: instead of mandating, dictating or regulating out of existence a light bulb, why not allow ALL light bulbs and then it can be up to the consumer! If LED's are more popular and allegedly work better, then let that be the decision of the people buying and using them, not the choice of government or big business foisting their beliefs on us! Then, at least, WE have the choice... Ahhhh!!!! But therein lies the rub!; THEY don't want US to have a CHOICE! Because if you, dear reader, were honest with yourself, you would know that you are not free, and limited or few choices is no choice. The "choices" given you are only those that THEY proscribed. That is not freedom. The last time I checked, there is nothing that the entity called "government", at ANY level, local, state, national or global, does well or does in the interest of those they claim to serve and protect. The fact is, government is mind control and is leviathan in nature. It is truly, not eloquence, but force. Why is it unfathomable that we live without this thing called government? If you're worried about roads and safety, that's what free enterprise is for. Coalitions that are free to come together can pave roads and fill potholes and engineer local projects, more quickly, cheaply and much faster than any government body ever can. Protection starts with self defense, but those unable to do so can call on volunteers, not unlike a volunteer fire department (which would still exist, btw) or paid security or a company that could charge nominal fees for their services (this is called a free market). If you're worried about criminals, just look at how many goon thugs, cons and criminals already wear and hide behind the badge and uniform while collecting a paycheck from this allegedly wonderful thing called "government". Anyway, I'm rambling and ranting because it's not just about light bulbs. In everything that government is mandating, dictating or regulating out of existence while still doing nothing to actually protect us from the big business and their pollutants which are literally contaminating this world and killing us softly (including the light from the LED's), we should focus on the root of the problem instead of throwing lip service to issues and legislating, ad infinitum, every little thing under the sun. I digress. Thanks for this article.
HRV was incorrectly stated in this article. Increasing HRV is healthier and is an indicator of getting out of sympathetic dominance. Check original sources to confirm.

I do miss the incandescent lights
Thanks for sharing. What are some recommended near infared desk lamps that can be used to compensate?
