small, swift, and easily startled
The GU24 fitting is compliant with a 2008 ruling by the California Energy Commission under Title 24 (California Building Standards Code) to require high-efficiency lighting on all residential remodels and new construction. The GU24 fitting is intended to maintain the energy efficiency of the light by preventing an occupant from using an incandescent bulb instead of a CFL.
love 2 nudge
god I hate these fucking things, I have zero idea why people building houses after the introduction of CFLs decided to switch from Edison sockets to GU24
maybe just a wider base to put the ballast electronics in? idk
Oh god. These socket types. I had them in my old apartment in Sapperton.
oh my god seriously? I'm legit so angry that the only justification for this is to keep people from using incandescent bulbs, lmao
I have a couple unusable edison socket LED light bulbs that I bought not knowing the sockets were GU24 and the resources extracted to make those light bulbs probably more than offset the reduced emissions
