This is probably telling on myself, but I'm not sure how to read "breeding" here.
I'm assuming (hoping) that they mean the literal dictionary definition of breeding it with other sheep, to produce a herd of genetic mutant giant sheep.
I'm afraid they're using slang and this dude cloned his fav sheep and fucked it.
Naw I want it for my kid, glow in the dark and all, and I don't wanna pay a fortune for it 😭
It looks like it is out of print, I'm hoping that I still have it on a box somewhere, because it's selling online for stupid prices.
I think the key part is "the LEDs could be made dimmer, or the halogens brighter, the manufacturer chose not to".
It makes sense for plain ol halogens to share the same socket as plain ol LEDs, because they function in the same way and are the same brightness.
But bulbs of different characters probably should have different sockets, so that high-intensity bulbs of any kind (eg xenon, laser, led) cannot be used in a regular lighting fixture without the necessary hardware to make it safe.
But here we have another problem - standardizing car parts is very beneficial to the owner because it makes repairing much easier and cheaper; if every manufacturer uses their own connectors for everything, then vendor lock-in would get that much worse and replacement parts would get that much harder to find and more expensive.
If manufacturer we're encouraged or forced to use standards, and we're instead encouraged not to, then they'd all make their own proprietary connectors for everything forcing you to get all maintenance done at official dealership where they can charge extortinat prices.
So it's kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. I think all we can do is regulate the behavior we want to see, and fine manufacturers, garages, and drivers that violate it.
This is why regulations should be about the behavior they want to see and not the technology used.
The goal is not to blind drivers; companies should be able to use whatever tech they want, but they should get fined every time their tech doesn't work as expected in the real world.
The problem isn't LEDs though. The technology isn't what's making it bright.
The regulation needs to be specific about what they want the end result to be, not about the specific technology used.
Like: there should be a mode of operation where oncoming traffic at x distance, seated at y height, on level roads should not experience more than z brightness.
I'm planning to get a handheld gaming computer and install one of the open source Linux gaming distros on it, like ChimeraOS or Bazzite
