14W LED bulb in my kitchen, not running for long periods, but used most days
Box says
- 15000 hours
- 30000 off / on cycles
My experience of these things is not good. Just had another one fail.
It's not as if it's above the cooker, although I do accept that it can be rather hot in the kitchen.
The economics of these bulbs make sense even if they don't last a year, compared with an equivalent filament lamp, but I find the advertised lifespan, shall I say, "optimistic".
Am I alone in having bad luck with these things?
At least a filament lamp is easy to re-cycle!
