2-for-Tuesday: Optiled Cree LED Flood Lights
- Two 50W-equivalent floodlamps: one dimmable, one not
- 35,000 hours of life: that’s 8 hours a day for 12 years! Will Earth even exist in 12 years?!?
- Made by Cree for Optiled, so they’re substantially similar to those Cree LED bulbs everybody loves
- The light looks like light (2700K-2988K), not like something you’d put over an aquarium to keep your salamander eggs from hatching
- Model: 1504280121, 1504050217
Come on in. The lighting's fine.
Picture it: 2007. The iPhone changes everything. Japanese archaeologists discover a 2,100-year-old melon. The Live Earth concerts bring the world together to spread awareness that streaming video doesn’t really work very well yet.
And in St. Louis, one brave dreamer buys an LED floodlamp for $40. It was expensive. And barely brighter than moonlight. And a sickly blueish color. And didn’t last that long. And really expensive. But still - no, actually, there’s no “but” here. It sucked. Being an early adopter of LED lamps was a stupid waste of money.
You’ve waited long enough now. The engineers figured out how to make LED floodlamps that aren’t fucking awful. This pair of Optiled LED Flood Lights - one dimmable, one not - is bright, and durable, and the color doesn’t make you feel like you’re under interrogation on the planet Zaxxos-VII, World of Shadows.
Then we picked up where the engineers left off, and figured out how to get LED floodlamps that aren’t crazy expensive. So even if someday LED lighting gets even better somehow, and you look back at these primitive bulbs, you won’t feel any pain for the money you wasted. Seriously, forty dollars! Can you imagine how much money that would be if we’d invested it in a DJIA index fund? It’d be like $40 today!
