The Real World Lifespan of a Low Energy Light Bulb

[DealorNoDeal]

Yeah - I never noticed halogens were whiter until I bought some 'warm white' LEDs at 2700K and everything seemed far too dark and sleepy.

In the old days, you just bought any old halogens and they were fine, albeit they didn't last that long and ran up your electricity bill.

Now, with the LEDs, there's a myriad combination of brightness, colour and beam angle. Some even have a longer body than the halogens, so they protrude from the bulb holder in an ugly fashion. And, of course, not to mention many don't even last as long as the halogens.

It's a bit of a minefield.

Bought a new build two years ago which has approx. 40 spot lights and not one has failed so far.
