First-World Problems...

The first LED bulbs were crap. They didn't even come close to their rated life, they flickered, they buzzed, they weren't tremendously bright, and the color was...how do I say this politely?...shit.

At least they were better than the execrable compact fluorescent bulbs, which were possibly the worst thing ever created by the hand of Man.

Like many others, I bought a fair number of 100 watt incandescent bulbs just to have...mostly because I dislike being told what I can and cannot use in my home.

But those LED bulbs got much better and much less expensive and much more available. And as my conventional bulbs burn out I replace them with 2,700K or 3,000K LED bulbs, except when I buy a box of absolutely horrid-colored 5,000K bulbs by mistake because I wasn't paying attention.

Wow...what an ugly and unpleasant light! I have eight of those bulbs...what the hell am I going to do with them? Maybe put them over my work bench or in the storage end of the basement?

Or bring them to the range and shoot them?
