i see no actual reason why LED lamps should still be more expensive than halogen, that just sounds like companies fleecing you

    Because with LED any issue requires a new lamp, the whole thing. With halogen bulbs you can simply replace the bulb or malfunctioning piece and it'll cost significantly less. Had a clip break on an LED and the only fix was a whole new assembly.

    again, that's not a fundamental issue, that's shit design to fleece you on money. It's like landlords installing self-contained LED fixtures that lock you out of switching the bulb yourself.

    From what i can tell this isn't a problem in europe, there are plenty of replacement LED bulbs available.
