I've not seen one bad thing about LED.



I have nothing against LEDs. I like them and I'm converting my house over to to LED fixtures and bulbs.

But incandescents are useful for places you need safe heat output such as wellheads, pump houses and propane tank enclosures. Propane doesn't vaporize well much below 0* F. Kinda sucks when you can't fry up breakfast because it's -40*F and the burners barely put out a flame.


Besides not given off much heat, which is why they're so efficient, most LED bulbs have a minimum operating temperature of no colder than -22° F. Not so good for outside use in places that get colder than that.


What? LEDS should have NO problems in COLD weather. CFL's on the other hand, no.
