These bulbs are not economical at all because I have to constantly replace them. Saving on electricity does not justify these expensive bulbs burning out in less than a year. The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine. I have had to replace 2 light fixtures that have permanent LEDs and no replaceable parts too.

    I can’t remember the last time I had to replace an LED. You may need to check wiring and voltages.

      I remember when I was running the numbers for my dads house. I asked him how often he changes a lightbulb. I worked out it was cost effective to change the light bulb based on replacement alone before I even got to the electricity cost.

      I honestly don’t think I have ever replaced a LED.
