Many people are convinced that LED bulbs save energy. However, this would only be true if the meter on the home was an older “Analog” electromechanical meter (with the old wheel that spun around) that only measured amps. But your new Smart Meter has an electronic chip that measures both peak volts and peak amps, which converts the combined measurement of volts and amps into Volt-Amps (VA), which then via software in the meter converts this to KWh.
Im not a electrical engineer, so I cant vouch for this information.
But I suspect there is some truth to this. In nova scotia, there is one power company its a monopoly and a criminal run one as well. They replaced everyones meters with smart meters about 10 years ago, then went through and replaced them AGAIN about 5 years later. At least the one where I lived was changed out twice in the span of 5 years.
When I brought this up in r/novascotia, they of course thought I was being delusional. Ive seen a few posts pop up asking why their energy bills started going up after getting a new smart meter installed. Just concidence...
Would not shock me if they got a office space type of code in there, evil fucks. Make a billion in extra profit, get a 100 million dollar fine if they even get caught. Fucking pathetic.
Thanks for this info. --- And this confounded Electric company Overrode Doctor instructions that we can NOT have that damn "smart"-meter, & have since been pushing & passing out FREE Led-bulbs like they are 'candy'.
Fortunately we became wise to any 1 "gift"ing us anything, outside our circle of family & friends. That also includes the Internet. You would not believe what people calling self a HOLY-christian on social media will do to you, as I found out here. We live in a deeply-dark world.
Ive seen this brought up a few times over the year.

This is a good thread about someone trying to figure out whats going on.
Now ive read that there is something technical about how led lights work.

Anything that we can do besides sueing?
No smart crap just dumb LED bulbs.
