With the low energy bulbs the lamp just stays the same brightness no matter how many times you touch it.

Proper ones.
But they're not as bright as General Service 100W bulbs.

Haitz's Law
...the cost per lumen (unit of useful light emitted) falls by a factor of 10, the amount of light generated per LED package increases by a factor of 20, for a given wavelength (color) of light. It is considered the LED counterpart to Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors in a given integrated circuit doubles every 18 to 24 months.[1] Both laws rely on the process optimization of the production of semiconductor devicesThe development of LED technology has caused their efficiency and light output to increase exponentially, with a doubling occurring about every 36 months since the 1960s
There is a theoretical upper limit of course, and that works out to be around 2 hours at 100 watt bulb brightness equivalent (~1000 lumens) from a single AA battery. Currently it's something like 30 minutes, 25% of maximum possible.Comment
