I would gladly pay more for longer lasting but environmentally sustainable ones! Another case where government intervention seems necessary and there is no real "corrective" force with only capital oriented companies.
Capital oriented companies can lead to the correct outcome if the consumer has enough information to distinguish the superior product. One solution to this problem that capitalism has found is UL Listing (Underwriters Laboratories.) Of course you could say they are just outsourcing what should be done by the government. It comes down to who do you trust to not fall into corruption.
So just import them from Dubai? Or you could start a company and start selling long lasting lightbulbs yourself. Its not like you need a team of super scientists to design a LED board with a bigger heat sink. Its weird how so many peoples' first thought is always to have the government micro manage everything through legislation.
“Just rely on another government’s strict regulations and illegally create a business around it so you can get a few durable items oh and stop complaining about government regulation.”
