I’ve had LED bulbs in my house for almost 2 years now, and they only cost $18 then. Why then, 2 years later after this technology has evolved quite a bit, does it still cost $18? My guess, greed. The LED’s and circuits contained therein are not difficult, and manufacturing shouldn’t be a problem, especially for a company as large as Phillips.
