Sadly, how soon America forgets. A major reason why America was able to win the fight in WWII was because America had an abundance of light and heavy manufacturing plants that could be quickly retrofitted to produce military needs.

Over the years, American manufacturers have either moved their facilities off-shore or have outsourced and imported their products. Government regulations, increased cost of labor, and reduced number of qualified factory workers have left America in a pathetic state of readiness. Ask any young adult if they want to work in a heavy manufacturing plant like a foundry casting iron and see what they say. I suspect that they would rather be a TikTok social influencer with a Fans Only website.

Actually there is - for some individuals

My oldest friend (I have known her for over 60 years) had a series of traumatic head injuries which left her with flicker induced seizures. Fluorescent lights naturally flicker, so she can't use those, dimmable LED lights also flicker and those also trigger seizures. I take her to all sorts of estate sales and flea markets - she is always looking for lamps which still have the old incandescent bulbs. We buy them, she keeps the bulbs, and I rewire and resell the fixtures.

Light Emmitting Diodes are direct current devices - hence the word diode. They allow electricity to flow only one way. In order to use them in an AC circuit, the 110 volt AC has to be converted to 5-12 volt DC.

And there's the rub. In your house EACH LED "bulb" has circuitry to first reduce the voltage, then convert it with a half wave or full wave rectifier or equivalent. And those parts, small as they are, consume current, but not often too conservatively (translate: heat).

That's why LEDs, which are expected to last 10-20 years, sometimes fail much sooner. The diode still works, but the conversion circuitry breaks down. Worst offenders are bulbs which hang down (ceiling lights, porch lights) because the base of the bulb doesn't cool sufficiently. Upright bulbs in table lamps and such can dissipate the heat better. Yeah, I know it's not much heat, but those are small parts, and can't take much heat.

Now outdoor low voltage lighting is a little different. The power supply at the wall reduces the voltage to 12 volts before it goes into the wire. A DC circuit would lose voltage the longer the wire, but AC stays the same the entire length. Therefore those bulbs only need the AC to DC converter, and since they are outdoors, they rarely fail due to heat.
