Any deal for daylight white candelabra? I hate the dull dim lights of the fans in bedrooms. Need more brightness. Thanks and reps.
I feel your pain, its tough being a reformed convict used to the prison lighting over your bed and having to deal with that relaxing soft lit bedroom lighting on the outside.
But in seriousness, ideally what you need is to replace your ceiling fans to allow non candelabra bulbs that have more wattage. Daylight bulbs should not be in bedrooms due to the blue light.
I get that they consume less power and produce less heat, but the problem is they don't last 10-20 times longer. They may on paper, but in real life I've never had one last more than 2 years before failure, at which point all that wiring and metal goes in the trash, whereas a typical incandescent can easily last 5-10 years (or longer) in the same conditions. There are definitely advantages to LEDs, but I don't think environmental impact (or even cost) is one of them if they need to be replaced 5 times as often.
It depends on your environment. I got my first LED Philips Hue bulbs 10 years ago, and they're all still working. Those are standard A19 bulbs in lamps though… with down lights (like these), sometimes heat gets trapped in the can, and while LEDs produce much less heat than incandescent (Incandescent bulbs are used in Easy Bake ovens as the heating element), they still make some heat. Like someone else said, cheap no-name bulbs use cheap capacitors, and are much more likely to die (not because of the LEDs themselves), but GE is a great brand.
Other gotchas are putting non-dimming LEDs in sockets with dimming switches anyway. It makes them flicker and buzz, and die much faster. Sometimes a socket just has really bad / noisy power, and that is harder on bulbs (particularly CFL bulbs).
Yours probably are dying due to heat or electrical problems. When we moved into our house 2 years ago, I replaced almost all our down lights with LEDs (some smart bulbs so they don't get left on overnight), and none have burned out yet. One of them, over our kitchen sink, is on almost constantly. There is a bit of a gap between the can/fixtures and the bulbs, seems to let the heat out, plus we have a surge protector / conditioner installed at our circuit breaker for the whole house. Our 1,200 sqft ranch uses an annual average of $55-$60 electric per month, and most of that is our refrigerator.
they are already for sale on offerup, some guy bought a pallet in north ft worth, and hes trying to sell them for $1 a bulb
I put in an order for 30 cases @ $1.97 each just because my buddy bet me they wouldn't fill it. I now have 600 light bulbs that I bought for $59.10 and nothing to do with them. Filled up my entire car + passenger seat lol. How in the world did Lowe's end up with so many of these light bulbs to begin with?
Btw bought them locally for $1.97 that 10 cents each. I didn't expect them to be dimmable. Even though probably Chinese they are GE's and packed very well.
