Remember these damn things? - Lemmy.World

These 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.

It’s soft light acter bouncing off the ceiling.
Which is inefficient and terrible design, that’s why it didn’t survive to the new technology.
They sell them at IKEA, with LED bulbs

Just because someone sells something and people buy it, doesn’t mean it’s a great design or there isn’t better options.

Just like essential oils.

Essential fucking oils?! What is going on in your head? I was just refuting your bullshit take that they didn’t “survive”.
