Before they forced these things down our throats, I used to always get approached by hard-sell clerks at the store. “Do you want to buy a lightbulb that will last for 40 years?” I always told them to get back to me in 40 years and let me know how that bulb made out. I’m sure that’s why they got the gubmint involved because otherwise they probably wouldn’t have sold more than 10 of them.

I bought two 100 W equivalent LED bulbs for the ceiling light in my kitchen that should have lasted longer than I. One failed within a couple weeks. It was a relatively inexpensive store brand, and I’m sure the store would have accepted a return, but who the heck keeps receipts for light bulbs?
