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.

I have really only glanced over the article but there is often opposition to new technologies when it so clearly replaces old technologies, the factories of which will need to be closed. They like to drag that out a bit, always happens, from tobacco to lead free petrol. In business circles this is called 'stranded assets' those factories, and nobody is keen on that. I had been looking here for when patents were applied for LED lamps. It's a fairly new development and yet the packages in which they are sold do not contain any patent Nos. Maybe the Chinese who make them did not bother as nobody can supply them at their price? 2001:8003:A921:6300:50AC:46C4:2152:E3A2 (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]


The article is out of date. It needs to cover the various types of SMD LEDs; 2835, 3030, etc. Each type has a particular use. 2835s and 3030s are used in bright ceiling and flood lights. Other LEDs of lower brightness may be used for subdued and color lighting, and in LED ribbons. 4014 LEDs are the smallest and can make the equivalent of a 75W incandescent but is only 1/3 of the length.14.203.207.166 (talk) 09:15, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

I'm no expert, but the grammar is quite poor in some places. I mostly noticed it in the paragraph regarding "LED drivers". Can somebody clean it up? Pretty Please? User_talk:174.79.47.243
