The light has greatly improved on them, but they still don’t last as long as advertised.
I figured they would not last as long as advertised. I know the curly mercury bulbs they replaced were supposed to last three times longer than they made it. Only 2 out of the 5 were still working in the garage.
I am not a fan of the mercury bulb (don’t know anyone who is) but I like LED technology and they were not as expensive as I thought they would be. We have about 50 recessed lights in the house and I am considering going LED with those.
