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.

    Check your power. I’ve had about 50 led bulbs for about 7 or more years. Only the ones in the bathroom failed because they were cheap and not rated for use in a wet and humid environment. Their replacements are coming up on 4 years old now and no signs of trouble. None of the bulbs were particularly expensive when I bought them.
