According to bulbs[dot]com, "Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is about 50 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, 20-25 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs and 8-10 times longer than traditional compact fluorescent bulbs. If used 12 hours a day, a lamp with 50,000 bulbs will last more than 11 years. Used 8 hours a day, lasts 17 years!" They don't even have a comma in the right place for one of their main product images. Bought a few months ago, 3 bulbs have already burned out. Guess I won't get a single working bulb I'm definitely going to ask Santa for new lightbulbs.
