gollark: Yes, you're right, let's just replace our lightbulbs with idealized magic visible light emitters.
gollark: If they didn't need that (I think the only practical way to achieve this would just be to stick one larger and more efficient converter somewhere) the bulbs would be individually cheaper and probably more efficient too, as well as safer.
gollark: You know something mildly interesting and relevant? LEDs run off lowish-voltage DC. The mains, as connected to most conventional lightbulb fittings (designed for incandescent/flourescent) provides high-voltage AC. This means that every LED lightbulb needs inefficient and probably somewhat expensive power supply circuitry.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
gollark: That seems kind of inefficient.
