Felt, GE, Philips. I have ~20 bulbs, including several on dimmers, in the house and have never had to replace a failed LED bulb in ten years.
Are you sure your power isn't bad in some way?
- csomar 3y agoI am guessing you are about to find out once you replace these old light bulbs?
- foobiekr 3y agoNot having replaced a bulb due to failure for ten years (and to be clear not having replaced an LED bulb ever) is not the same as not having bulbs that are under 10 years old. We have a variety of LED bulbs from 2013 and then others I’ve incrementally replaced either as they annoyed me (heat, in almost all cases) or because I just got around to it (our external security bulbs most recently). If LED bulbs are inherently prone to failure I’m not seeing it. I do agree they’re more expensive, even if you adjust for inflation, but as far as I can tell they last forever.
