You know that 70's Tv with the wodden bezel that you or your parents (maybe grandparents) still have, I bet that still working, yeah? Well, as long as it wasn't used excessively with early gen home consoles :D. Now how many 90's TV's did you, your Pops go through? I bet that number is idiotically high. I know my family combined went through at least 7 that I can recall. Well that is planned obsolescence in a nutshell. A better example would probably be the tungsten lightbulb.

All our lightbulbs are those LED light ones, that use 1/10th of the power and last 20+years instead, and generate much less heat.

However they do cost like 4-5times as much as the normal ones, but imo worth it.

 

1100+ lumens for 75watts of power with a normal bulb, vs 8watts or so with a LEB lightbulb.

The powerbill alone will earn back its higher cost, and the fact that they basically never break, and last so damn long makes them a much better buy.
