💡LED Light - Never Use Corn Light Bulbs 🙄

The flaw in your logic is that the original light bulbs , Albeit MH or HPS ot LPS or even the old standard Mercury Vapor bulbs also had at least 50% of the light going in a direction that it was not needed . All of this said comes back to the quality of the fixture its self . The important thing is the reflectors. This is what directs the "SPILL LIGHT" back to a usable direction . . Better yet is a light fixture that has a true Mirror reflector . All of this said , A LED light where all of the emitters are exactly directed the way you would like them is in truth impractical to have for all applications but Yes it is the most effective way to get every possible lumen out of a light source. With the multitude of applications out there one must make informed choices.

I use them for construction work lights.........they're great, and last forever.

install in a reflective focus fixture.

the LEDs pointing in the wrong direction theory does not make sense. A MH lamp does the same thing. There are NO reflectors on the MH lam[p itself to point the light in a downward direction. Most high bay lights have a giant reflector on them to point the light downward.

Omg... The light on the side is important too...

I've never seen a guy so passionate about LED lighting. I'm convinced!

Nothing like a bias support, lol he sales metal hylide bulbs

good for all round light output fixtures

Are those CFL tubes in the ceiling of that warehouse? Round CFL tubes, not 'directional'?

what about peaches and cream corn lights?

So what is your alternative solution?

Hello, Mr. Lauritzen. I want to comment on your statement that corn cob light bulbs are inefficient to use in your hausehold. At some point you might be right that design of these corn cob light bulbs are not ideal for general use in most houses. According to my observations they would not be used like a traditional ceiling bulb but more for photography and/or videography purposes and most of the time, inside of a softbox. From my own experience with corn cob light bulbs, I would not say that they are useless. I use them in my softbox for photography or video works and I can only say how convenient they are. I also do not agree with your statement that you get only 25% light from the bulb because only a small portion of the bulb will be pointed towards the floor. First, if you ever heard about "photons", they do not travel on a straight line in the spaces, especially in a room. These photons bounce of the ceiling and walls, though they come from a sort of direct light source. If we consider that most of the people's houses are with white ceiling, reflection and therewith the light spill will be increased. Second, you compare the corn cob light bulbs with traditional light bulbs, which should not supposed to be used in a same way. Your argument is more like to say, "don't use truck wheels on your car, just use X company car wheels". Lastly, I would suggest you not to forget to mention the addressees on the title of your video to make sure WHO should "never use corn light bulbs".

The corn light should work in high bay enclosure as its in a reflective enclosure and thus directs the light downwards, high bay light fitting has to have some of the guts removed as not needed to run LED lights, right?

Was given one of these (looks just like the one in this video 150w) I was wondering if I can screw them into my outside flood light receptacle, its the standard two fllod light outlet you can buy for $30 bicks at Lowe's. I'm concerned that it might get to hot for the fllod light fixture its screwed into outside?

#givethanks. Thank you for the warning. Glen M

Are you based in the U.K.?

I want my walls illumiated.

Just get the corn bulb that is directional

Why the short life expectancy ? LED bulbs last the longest and run the coolest...Are you sure about your stats ?

Retinal damage with even low exposure. Read up. These things are dangerous.
