5.0 out of 5 stars These are a hell of a lot cheaper than they used to be, but are they any good?
I bought my first bunch of this type of light bulb (single bright LED) some years ago. At the time they promised a lifetime of service (many thousands of hours, indeed). I bought around eight in total at £11 each. Within a year one failed. Within two years two had failed. Recently, after only about five-six years, two more have failed. Nowhere near a lifetime, obviously. Well, not a human lifetime anyway --- even my kitten is a bit concerned. Please bear with me as I have some more information, although hopefully not too much to bore you.I have done a little research into this specific technology. These LEDs are about a quarter of an inch square and get very hot due to the small surface area involved in producing such a relatively large amount of light, and have therefore been prone to burning out. They are also apparently notorious for using cheap technology for the in-built amplification/modulation required inside the control system for this sort of light source, despite the fact that I don't think £11 was cheap, but then I was an "early adopter" --- I guess we pay the price for getting this stuff early.As an aside, I remember when the first 'wiggly-shaped' fluorescent light bulbs were promoted as replacements for the long-standing incandescent bulbs that we'd all been using for around a century, and which are no longer available (nor even legal to buy??). Supermarkets were selling the fluorescents for as little as 11p each and I still have a big cardboard box full of the buggers, despite them being implicated in various long-term health scares which as far as I know are still withstanding and not officially disproved. Sod's Law dictates that these will last the longest of all.A second aside, if you will bear with me --- I am still daily using a 60 Watt incandescent bulb that is at least 50 years old. It is totally reliable and still looks in perfect condition. Obviously it costs me more money to use, but cost almost nothing to buy, and as far as I know has no ill effects on my health.Back to the prevailing original review. A box of six of these LED bulbs was less than £12, so that's less than £2 each. I bought two boxes, i.e. twelve in all, and have tested them all so I know they all work, and they are ALL brighter AND use less electricity than the £11 bulbs from some years ago. Obviously I have no idea how long they will individually last, but if I find them to be substandard in terms of longevity or performance then there will certainly be a suitable report posted here. If they last for at least a couple of years each then I won't be too unhappy.Have a bright future, however you find it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money
The bulbs are easy to install and energy efficient, and if their life expectency is what they claim then they really are good value for money. However, I've only been using the product a couple of months so too early for me to support that claim just yet.
