I think I will wait until the cost comes down.
By the way when one LED goes bad do they all stop coming on?
Or do they just go out one at a time until they all expire?
No idea. OTOH, they expect a typical LED to last 25,000 to 100,000 hours. Roughly 3-11 years.
If AndyTheBear’s figures are correct, even at the low end it will have paid for itself 5 or 6 times over.
What they don’t say is effective color temperature or CRI. Are they warm, daylight, cool or what?
The problem is not that the LEDs go bad one at a time, but that the Chinese electronics fails and the whole thing goes out.
