Last year I bought some LEDs guaranteed to last 13 years. They lasted just as long as a 100 watt Incandescent but cost 10 times more than the Incandescent bulbs.

I miss incandescent bulbs, primarily because I don’t have to treat a burned-out incandescent as hazardous waste.

I suspect there’s an asterisk in there somewhere, as in the longevity is predicated on them not being installed in enclosed fixtures. My bare bulb installations have been going for 3 years, 16 hours a day. And these are store brands. In fact they’ve lasted longer than my CFL’s. And best of all, vs incandescents, they pay for themselves in the first month of 16 hours a day usage.
