  1. They do cut the electricity requirement of lighting by 80 percent so all things considered not a bad idea.

    1. Hard on the eyes.
      If you stay in a darkened room with only led’s for illumination over several days your eyes will have a hard time adjusting to sunlight, it can be painful even while you are in that room.
      I never had that problem with incandesents but did to a lesser extent with florescents.
      It seems that the eye needs the full broad spectrum light that the sun provides, maybe grow lights can offer that.

  2. Watt, not candles? Light, butt no heat.
    A politician’s wet dream, moar spending is the @fix”.

    1. Yes – the energy wasted in inefficient lighting is given off as heat. I’m guessing Ukrainians have no need for heat in the winter.

  3. If Russia wanted to bomb Ukraine’s electrical grid into the stone age they’d have done so already. That they’re even discussing light bulb options in a time of war says more about Russia then anything else. Now they’re talking about charging Putin with “war crimes” because of war time electrical disruption . Just shut up already.

    The West (International coalition) absolutely flattened the Iraqi power grid in ’91 for the express purpose of increasing civilian suffering which they accomplished in spades…only to become a little more selective in the Nato led Kosovo/Serbia conflict. Proving once more…it sucks to live in the Middle East when the West decides it wants to try out new toys from Raytheon and other merchants of death.

  4. @burton – “charging Putin with “war crimes” because of war time electrical disruption”.

    It’s even worse than that, Putin refuses to use LGBTQ preferred pronouns!

    If Trudeau had war horses to send they’d be sent already.

  5. I think what happened in Ukraine in that a lot of people received gasoline or diesel powered portable gen-sets from various sympathizers. The owner’s manual may not always be in their language. Trust me, that does cause problems. Interesting to note that France utilizes 230 volts 50 HZ AC power with much different light sockets that we have here in Canada. Ukraine also utilizes 230 Volts 50Hz. Gens sets may be different voltages, thus an LED could be adapted to compensate for that. Hope the light sockets are the same!!
    Maudit Macron!!
