   LED lightbulb audit

   From: mds@bogus.nodomain.nowhere   
      
   Has anybody done a detailed audit of LED lightbulbs?  Factory-to-   
   landfill energy, raw materials & processing versus the ostensible   
   energy/emissions saving/benefit in an average use lifetime?   
      
   I just took one apart.  In addition to the LEDs, it contains seven   
   chips, four capacitors and a copper-wound transformer, all soldered to   
   a circuit board as well as plastic & aluminum structural parts.
