Not all LED light bulbs are the same: differences between quality ones and junk ones

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Light bulb

The difference is huge, and if we didn't see it with our own eyes we wouldn't believe it. The low-cost one doesn't even project a beam of light, it simply makes a spot on the wall, while the high-quality one projects a true beam, well defined, as it should be. This should make us think a lot.
