Planned Obsolescence

Categories
Lifestyle

When we came home from dinner last Friday night, it was a most welcome sight for sore eyes to see the pictured outdoor spotlights lit up for all their worth.

 

It got me to thinking that the spot lights were well worth their extra cost as they have been in constant use for at least 2 years.  They are the new, more expensive, “Long Life” bulbs.


They are a welcome change to the old bulbs I used to have to replace every few months.  

Planned obsolescence be darned.  Let there be (long) light!

So few things made today are designed to last. It's good to know there are a few left out there.
