[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I'm losing my mind. We have spent hundreds of dollars to change every single light bulb in our house to LED over the past few years, and one of the promises of LED was that even though they were more expensive, they would last for years. But now they are starting to burn out, years before the packaging indicated. And we aren't burning them 24/7 - we are pretty diligent about turning lights off when we leave the room. Is our experience unusual? For example, we have a GE Relax bulb that estimates 13 years based on 3 hours of burning per day (1095 hours/year, total lifespan est 14,235 hours). In one room, we probably have it on for 40 hours a week. That should give us almost 7 years of use but it just died after 1.5 years. I haven't done the math on the others but it's been such a process to find the right bulb hue for each room that I was not planning on having to replace everything for at least another 5 years.
