Lowes had 40W LED bulbs on sale last week for $10 They seem to have the
brightness of 60W I bought 20 of them.


Those things are made by slave labor in China, polluting the environment
worse than a lot of other technology, and through practical experience I
can tell you, they don't actually last that much longer than regular
bulbs in frequent service on and off cycles like in the bathroom.


40 Watt LEDs? There are such devices, but they're very expensive, more
than $10 each. Maybe you are confused and meant "CFL" bulbs. There are
*slight* differences between the two, but a self-described *wrench* like
you would know that, eh?

Right?

These boys sure do provide cheap amusement.


Cheap is the operative word.

There are some 9 watt LED bulbs out there for about $10 that supposedly
put out the same amount of light as a 40 watt incandescent bulb, but
that doesn't make them 40 watt LEDs. They're 9 watt LEDs.
