    Got cheap, no-name, unbranded LED bulbs off of eBay. Years later, not one of them had broken.

    But Philips LED bulbs? Those things don’t last a year. In fact, none of the high-rated, “high quality,” top-ten-list, LED light bulbs have ever outlasted an incandescent in my experience.

    If you want your LEDs to last, buy the no-name bulbs, guys. The Phoebus Cartel is still out there.

        I haven’t had any problem either, even in enclosed fixtures that the bulbs I have aren’t rated for. There are so many different models I don’t know if you can totally generalize by brand. And I don’t use anything higher than 60 watt equivalent. There is such a thing as too bright.
