They state the bulbs last 5 years....had one in the bath that died at 6 months
Right, and you are supposed to take them to the HAZARD DUMP!!
How about 2 - 3 months. None that I have purchased have lasted 6 months.
Had a bunch that died in a couple of weeks. Not to mention they don’t have a nice soft glow.
You should take a bath more often ... then again it would not have lasted six months ... are you ok?
Bought 4 of these new bulbs on sale Sat. Wife put one in bathroom Monday morning. Monday night it was dead. Put another one in Monday night. So far, it is still working but it will need to work for 3 years to make up the difference in costs for 2 of these expensive bulbs.
They last for 5 years under ‘normal’ use on average which is 3-4 hours a day. Like anything, there will be some that last longer and some shorter than the average. I’ve had normal bulbs die in 2 days before and others last over a year. In general though, you’ll get about 2,000 hours out of a normal bulb, and 8000 out of a CFL.
This lady had one that 'died' while she was putting it in - gonna cost her $2,000
