    Looks like a solid investment with an astounding no-risk ROI that even the poor can invest in!
    So what if you can't afford to pay your bills? I think that the smallest quantity that you can fine is 6, So you need $15 to have light vs $5 because incandescent bulbs come in 4 packs

    People are hurting right now. but the left thinks everything is great?

    This does not effect people like me and I am assuming you because we went this way a long time ago. because we could afford it.

    What if you don't have $26 bucks? what if you don't know where your next meal is coming from. People that can afford them have already switched, because it is a better investment. Those that can't afford it?

    Still need to have light.

    Your claim of $5 per LED bulb was a lie.
