Jumping in to recommend Cree if they're still around. Used to be able to get them at Home Depot here in the US. I started going Cree when I was renting 10 year

Jumping in to recommend Cree if they're still around. Used to be able to get them at Home Depot here in the US.
I started going Cree when I was renting 10 years ago, I've yet to have a single failure of the bulbs that I've drug with me to the place I live now. Have at least 25 bulbs currently in the house that are Cree LEDs. Their reliability actually has me frustrated at the current trend of lighting fixtures with integrated LEDs that I have 0 trust in.
- andrewjf 3y agoI’m replacing all the ecosmart bulbs with crees. The normal 60w/100w equivalents have been fine so far, but I have some 7500 lumen Cree ED37s that are trash, replaced 3 already out of ~7. Not sure what the deal is. Maybe my power at my house is bad or something. We blow through LEDs like crazy. They just start flickering.
- com2kid 3y agoAt that point it is the wiring in your house. LEDs are super sensitive to crappy wiring. I have a couple receptacles in my house that just chew up LEDs, one a year, while the LEDs next to them have lasted for 5+.
