Reliability Issues

Updating the March review again because another one died. That's 3 out of 21 deaths. 14% bounce. 2 stars; I can't recommend her more. Update March 2021 after 7 months of ownership. 4 out of 3 stars. (Original review below) 2 of the original 21 bugs installed. It's 10% bounce. Another struggled for several days before somehow recovering. The failure mode I see is flickering followed by that dreaded electronic short circuit noise. It seems unfair to me to sell an average lifespan of 30,000 hours with a 10% failure rate within 7 months. Maybe 30,000 hours is the math mean and not the average? ==== Marketing seems to encourage the use of such values in fixtures that do not diffuse the light source. I don't know why you're doing it. You will see smudges every time you accidentally look at it. I bought them because they are bright, don't have a diffuser, have a temperature of 3000K and have an above average color rendering index. I wish they had an even better CRI. Another person sees them as a green cast compared to lamps with a higher color rendering index. I tested the function of all lamps upon receipt. They all work. I've been using them in indoor and outdoor lights for two months with no problems. Some of my interior lights have three. I recommend them.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...
