ICD = incandescent
You don't hear many good things about incandescent.

not sure where I first came across it... Maybe I just made it up out of whole-cloth.
But I did find it being used here. Light Bulb Test With Cfl, Led, And ICD Light Bulbs - ProProfs Quiz
Which totally isn't a real source.
Maybe I'm a rend-setter. Which isn't nearly as cool as being a trend-setter.
I just bought a place in Duke territory with ground-loop geo heating (heats the DHW too), insulated VERY well. My total electric bill mid-Dec through mid-Jan was $49. Lighting would likely almost double that amount with the number of lights we have.
That being said, even if it would barely make the needle twitch it would still yield cost-savings, and cost-savings aare cost-savings...
For anyone buying LEd bulbs, check the packaging. There will either be a degree Kelvin or picture of the light it puts out. The higher the number, the more white (blue) it will be. The lower the number, the more yellow it will be. 3,000 to 3,300° will get it a look of more normal incandescent bulbs. While a number of 7,000° kelvin will get you a a bluish tent light. If you are going to put them on a dimmer switch, make sure you get dimming and not non dimming. All but two of our bulbs look "yellow" like the old style bulbs.
This begs the question, did you just make up the term "initialism"? I've never heard it before, typically it's called an acronym isn't it?How ironic, they capitalized the abbreviation, but left the initialisms in lower case. Maybe the author, "Jmssmartin2017" needs to go back to school. (or still is in school?)
ETA:
I typically just say "tungsten".
I was pleasantly surprised. The bill was actually 2 months combined (the first month the house was unoccupied) and I thought, "Heh, $74 isn't bad for a month" then I realize it was 2 months and the first occupied month was only $49 and I was super happy.The last time I checked, my total-average cost per KWH was something like $0.13 or $0.14. We've got a geo-thermal unit for the main level and a high eff. Unit for the upstairs. House is...meh, ok insulated and I cannot imagine a $49 electric bill, even if we ate out every night and did laundry on a rock, by the creek. That's great you're getting it.
RADAR is an acronym.This raises the question, did you just make up the term "initialism"? I've never heard it before, typically it's called an acronym isn't it?
Ah... learn something new everyday. That being said, I still had to google it to know the difference, your explanation further confused me.RADAR is an acronym.
CPU is an initialism.
An acronym needs to be spoken as a complete word(s).
I should have been an English major.
No wait, I like money.
