In fact, even today most standard incandescent light bulbs are rated for 1,000 hours or less.

However, please do not say "this is enough for me" after you replace all your incandescent light bulbs with these.

It also generates a lot of waste: if you throw out an incandescent bulb, it's really just some glass and a little metal.
