So many Phillips LEDs, exactly zero dead ones. Ages are from 2 to almost 10 years
Oh. Huh. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to encounter anyone who had good experience with those bulbs.
That... blows a hole in my theory.
I still don't regret the cheap, foreign light bulbs I got off of eBay (best LEDs I've bought thus far)... but maybe my family and I have just been unlucky with name brand LEDs.
I don't think they were hue bulbs. I think they were just regular LED light fixture bulbs.
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.
