60 watts to illuminate just one room used to be the norm. Now it sounds insane. Maybe losing the perfect color rendering index was a worthwhile tradeoff after all.

In the winter, it might as well be free since I’m using the heat anyway.
This is actually not entirely true if you have a heat pump.
Heat pumps can be more efficient than electric / resistive heating since they just move latent heat around rather than having to create it from electricity. The heat itself is still not being wasted, but using an electric heater to heat a space will use more power than using a heat pump.
Did somebody mention heat pumps?
Absolutely fantastic. Got a laugh out of me.
I recognize that YouTuber but am ootl … What’s his deal with heat pumps?
He’s covered many topics that involve heat pumps, the refrigeration cycle, or latent heat in some capacity. The joke is that he somehow always ends up explaining the refrigeration cycle.
Fascinating! TIL.
Same. I’ve got my server racks in my den on my first-floor, and the heat fairly reliably and evenly rises to warm my second and third floors to comfortable levels.
