Talk:LED lamp

Lifespan of halogen bulb

In the comparison table lifespan of incandescent and halogen bulb is listed as the same (1000 hours). However, halogen lamp normally has longer lifespan. True, the value in the table is the same as in the reference and on manufacturer's website [1], but an equivalent bulb from the same manufacturer made for 230 V has a lifespan of 2000 hours [2] (checked for AU, SI and UK). I suggest adding additional column with the 2000 hours lifespan, since an article should not be limited to certain part of the world. Bglazar (talk) 08:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Random numbers

I see that in these edits from a series of IP addresses, various random numbers have added and altered in the table. The data in the table didn't seem be cited to any source or reference beforehand, and certainly isn't now. Therefore it totally fails WP:V, which fundamental to Wikipedia, and can now become a free-for-all repository of any made up rubbish. If I have missed the sourcing reference, please enlighten me and let's make it clearer. If there is none, I suggest we delete the table until sourcing can be found. --Nigelj (talk) 19:14, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Neutrality issues

I know that only relatively recently have affordable LED lamps become available to replace incandescent and compact fluorescent alternatives, yet this article does seem to be biased against the emerging technology, focusing more on aspects such as power factor and colour rather than the pretty indisputable reduction in power consumed per lumen and time to full illumination. Whilst claims about life of an LED lamp are yet to be proved, it is clear that they consume less energy than equally bright alternatives and this article should reflect this. I'm not an expert on these matters, but to me the whole article seems to be biassed against this technology. I will research and improve, but this is a call to arms for those promoting LEDs as a viable and affordable alternative to more conventional lighting solutions.

Out of date?

I'm no expert about LED lights, and only came to the page to find out, but this sentence seems to have some issues:
"The light output of single LED is less than that of incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps; in most applications multiple LEDs are used to form a lamp, although high-power versions (see below) are becoming available."
- On what measure is LED light output less than incandescent? Surely not on power consumption? On bulb availability? On physical size?
- If "multiple LEDs are used to form a lamp" does that mean "mutliple LED bulbs are used to form an LED lamp"? Maybe it goes back to a previous era of LED spotlights? I can't connect it with the bulbs I've just fitted.
- About "high-power versions (see below) are becoming available", when I see below, illustrations are from 2010 and 2012, which makes me think the article may getting significantly out of date?
