I bought myself a $25 80s lamp and it works fine. Turn a switch on, turn a switch off, nice normal light, great.
Meanwhile I realized that yes, that LED multicolor lamp that I always leave on the same 2200K because I’m not fidgety like that, is controlled by a remote that ate about 6 AAA batteries in 18 months.
Before 2000, you used to pop one battery in a remote and be done for 50 years. Not anymore!
So instead of replacing an incandescent bulb every 3/5 years, I replace batteries (no way to turn it on/off without the remote) every year.
The opposite of efficiency, right here. Oh, and also:
LEDs mostly suck. The end.
