$8 or $14, my point remains. The cheapest lamp we touch and have a track record with is a $30 120w eqiv BR40. 5 year warranty, CRI of 82 (not terrible) and available in a few color temps. Fully dimmable to less than 1%. Standard forward phase dimming compatible.

Probably only good for outdoor floodlight in a residential application or if you happen to have gothic chandeliers in your living room. 🙂

Ikea had some for , was it like $3.50? And they weren't even flat.

The track lite system?
Got lucky there... a pullout from the local mega mall, one of the stores dumped it and it was in the dumpster! A good day for dumpster diving!! Most are not so productive, and I do it on a random sampling basis. They're not slick fancy chrome ones with sexy vestigial parts though. 🙁 Rather mundane, decent quality beige with enough fixtures to do the job. They were REALLY ripped out, some of the end connectors were bent and cracked off, but I got more than enough track and fixtures to do this job. A bunch of Edison base 120vac and some bipin 12vdc type too. Those are the type like the 50w halogen bulbs with the reflectors that were so popular a while back.

Now all I have to do is to finish the job...
...we could have a pizza party, you comin'?? 😀

I had some 2" spot LED from HongKong that did go bad after a few years, but with only a few hundred hours on them. They were cheap. Last fall, I replaced 16 4' dimmable fluorescent fixtures because the $125 each ballasts went bad. Was $30 for each 16' strip of "double-bright" LED in warm white. Good color, and nicely dimmable. As near the same output as the old install, but 48 watts instead of 160. Yeah, they're spread out enough so they don't get even warm to the touch. The power supply is separate, and rated for 50w. Warm, not hot.
