Save on their electric bill with cheap LEDs that get the job done, while worrying about more important things than if the bulb flickers sometimes when you dim it?

Your answer is missing some steps involving money

I suppose it depends on the extend of the impoverished-ness.

The homeless certainly aren’t worried about lightbulbs but the 65% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck probably appreciate the savings.

If you’re living paycheque to paycheque then where is the extra money going to come from to buy expensive bulbs?
