[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what the answer is. We have a candelabra fixture with incandescent lights, we dim it and don't use it often. Well, one burned out last year and we put in a LED and now it's burned out while the incandescent are still fine. [/quote] Many non-China made incandescents will last decades. Even the modern ones made in China will last a couple years with normal use. [/quote] My GE incandescents regularly burned out. LEDs are a pain. The switch control has to be LED compatible, or the other bulbs on the circuits have to be too - no mixing and matching. Too much voltage flux. Never had a problem with incandescents but LEDS have been very troublesome.[/quote] It's been 20-30 years since GE made bulbs in the states. Have some older GE and Sylvanias that are still going from decades ago. Overseas ones got cheaper in quality, no lead in the solder, cheaper metal bases, cheaper filament quality. [/quote]
