Phillips, Cree, and all sorts of generics. If you have good electrical power you won't notice, but if your power is dirty, a loose neutral exists, etc, the driver boards do not last long. Whereas the simple no-circuitry halogens do. And this is especially true in enclosures.
It's another situation where the well off remain well off but for the poor the situation gets worse.
- Jochim 3y agoAnecdotally, I've replaced more halogens than any other kind of bulb. I'm assuming it was the fixture that was causing it. They were cheap but they guzzled power.
