BonesOfTheMoonRemember these damn things?
DiplomjodlerThese would be much easier to do with LEDs but somehow they didn’t survive the transition.
Who’s what’s upward directional lighting? They were a horrendous design that only lit the room tip, not great for reading to crafting.
People who want the entire room lit up with fairly soft lighting?
It only lights the ceiling up, you still need additional lighting for anything you want to do.
And these were designed so the heat wouldn’t get trapped in the lid and the are super bright, so you couldn’t point them down. Replacing it with LED you wouldn’t need the same design considerations.
SzethFriendOfNimiIt’s using the ceiling as a diffuser to soften it. Same way that photographers don’t normally point a light directly at a subject but instead use a diffuser like this
Which is a horrible inefficient design and why it don’t transfer with LEDs.
It’s wild how hard you’re getting raked over the coals here.
You’re not wrong at all.
Your likely have LEDS diffused down through the shade these days.
It’s like people are ignoring the person who asked why this didn’t transfer to LEDs. Yeah I know what the light was designed for, I literally said it, and then explained why it doesn’t work for LEDs. It was mainly a design to not trap the heat in, if they could do downward facing halogens… this light probably wouldn’t ever exist.
Wait, no.
The place you’re wrong is where you’re acting like these lamps aren’t still used.
You can buy them at ilea for like 10 bucks.
I have 3 of this style and have incandescent style led bulbs in them. They work fantastic.
The directional panel leds you’ll see in modern LED fixtures are not a good fit for these, but others are.
Essential oils are a thing, people will buy anything, it doesn’t mean it’s practicable or there’s not far better options.
I own a house, I have multiple rooms.
If you choose to stop and have a more open mindset you’ll see you’re actually being downvoted for quite good reason.
Now I realize it’s because you’re being argumentative and refusing to try to see perspective you don’t understand.
Oh no, a bunch of people disagree with me… and I’m being downvoted… oh well… why do you think any of that matters?
These lights are a terrible design, sorry.
Why is this so hard to believe?
Because we own lamps and have experience that extends beyond your narrow mindset.
Take care dude, I don’t care in the slightest about your opinion anymore.
Because we own lamps and have experience that extends beyond your narrow mindset.
And people argue for essential oils as well. They are absolutely allowed that opinion.
Never cared about yours to begin with as well, so… what’s your point here?
I understand it’s objectively less efficient. But living space preferences aren’t only about objective efficiency.
