Trump – being Trump – doesn’t think about others in the room.

Why do I think that suspicion is quite plausible and he’s having the stuff sneaked in? Oh, yes. Erectile dysfunction; he probably blames that on LED bulbs also.

I switched to LEDs because they were superior to CFLs, saved on my electric bill, and last far longer than any other form of residential lighting. IO’ll bet President tRump has LED bulbs in his bed bug palaces.

Especially when powered by electricity from wind turbines.

(I edited my post to clarify that the LEDs are plugged into, but not screwed into, the door opener, so they don’t vibrate with it)
(Upon re-reading I think you understood what i meant, but anyway…)
I don’t think I was clear earlier (and not sure my subsequent edit helped) - but I did not put LED bulbs in the opener. I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t work, anyway (not with this opener). I replaced the opener’s bulbs with screw-in electrical sockets, hung the new LED fixtures from the ceiling, and plugged those into the screw-in sockets.
The garage door opener turns the lights on/off but they aren’t physically housed in the opener.
I bought these to replace the old light bulbs:
And I hung these from the ceiling, and plugged them into the new sockets:

That’s also a byproduct of the retrofit to incandescent bulb sockets and mains power. LED bulbs have to do quite a lot to convert high-voltage AC to the ~10-12V DC current source that LEDs use. At some point, we really should convert completely over to new sockets (and building circuits) that supply a native 12VDC for lighting.

Exactly. In other words, Trump wants to send the jobs making light bulbs overseas.

I can’t see that working for Trump. He doesn’t do subtle, he will insist he needs more green light.

I’ve seen this posted several times. What is actually going on there? Is she sticking it to the libs by eating a shit cookie filled with plastic straws and non-LED bulbs?

Careful. Calling them fools won’t win biden the presidency. We must try to court the people so disconnected from reality they think trump is smart and well spoken.
/sarc god help me I have to say it.

“B***h, did you know you are orange?”
I’ve been nearly full LED for about five years. With the exception of some extremely bright candelabra base bulbs thathad some dubious thermal design I have yet to replace any, and those that I did replace didn’t die from the elements giving out, they died from the third-rate “ballasts” that convert from 120 line power down to the low-voltage current [1] that the diodes use.
Even so, incandescents with the output that those bulbs put out would have exceeded the safe heat capacity of the fixtures by nearly 10:1. Put anothe way, I’d be sitting here in candlelight instead of good reading light right now.
[1] Electrical engineers (I was one) make the distinction, the rest of you don’t need to bother.

The “ballasts” built into the LED lamps generate quite a bit of high-frequency noise. Not enough to be a problem even a short distance away, but right inside the opener next to the radio receiver, even connected electrically?
Yeah, not a good idea. I’m guessing a newer opener would have less trouble, but then I’d balk at the cost of changing out a working opener for a small saving on lights.

I did, but I appreciate the extra detail.

Would “less desirable” work for you? My spectrum is bigger than your spectrum.
It just occurred to me that Donny Trumpo is all about spics and specs.
Interesting. However, I myself find that virtually all light makes me look fat.

She is drinking a steak though a straw that has incandescent light bulbs … to own the libs. As apparently I learned liberals hate steak, straws and light bulbs.
She actually got paid by somebody to do that.
I believe she is what we in the business call a deep thinker.
