LED lighting: Rant update.

Since indicating and promoting our invivo unsuccessful attempts to obtain LED lighting to retrofit our aging compact fluorescent lamps a lot has changed in three months.
Time constraints just now make it important to keep this brief. Bottom line, WalMart now stocks a limited number of indoor, outdoor and Par LED lamps. Yep, they are pricey but not as expensive as those on-line. The compromise in price is at the cost of life span. A 1,000 lumen WalMart stocked brand has 40,000 hours of life as opposed to a 1,000 lumen one on-line for 15 bucks more having 60,000 hours of life.
