LED light bulbs


Chewbacca

Recommended Posts

I went the GE route back in 2015 when we moved into a new house.  Never replaced a bulb in the 3 years we lived here.

Did the same thing in our current house in Feb. 2019.  I've replaced one bulb, which was just a few weeks ago.  

Our house has a ton of different fixtures and bulb types, and I was very specific in what rooms or lights have what temp.  GE has the proper bulb with different color-temp options for just about everything, even some of the oddball specialty ones.

I've actually had decent luck with the Feit BR40 and PAR38 I've picked up at Costco.  The standard shape Cree 9W LEDs I bought at Home Depot five years ago are still burning strongly. 

Costco LEDs are the worst offenders in my experience.

Take them back

Tell me more about this, please?

These are the ones I have:

Luxrite 5/6 Inch LED Recessed Retrofit Downlight, Trim (6 Pack) https://a.co/d/7cWRfWt

They sell them at Home Depot as well in 4pks. Install was like minute each tops. HD has install directions. Likely a video online too.

I’ll second this. Installed these in enclosed cans in a closet where the LED bulbs kept burning out. Cheap, easy install. I am gruntled. Plan to replace the rest of the cans in the house when I run through my stockpile of bulbs.

On this note, anyone have a good recommendation for LED Christmas lights? We just bought some C9 LED lights from home depot-advertised as 2X super bright!

They are extremely dim.  I assume they're 2X brighter than absolute darkness, but yeah.  Taking them back today. Yes, after I spent 3 hours putting them up yesterday.  

Also, I'm extremely cheap. So keep that in mind with your recommendations.
