“having better luck with GE LED’s and other slightly more expensive brands”
FEIT quality is great. SAlso sold in COSTCO.
I’ve had good luck with FEIT except one batch of 100w equivalent FEITs that were awful (failed early, every one.) Might have been a QC slip-up, as I never got around to checking how hot they were running. (Overheating would likely be a design screw-up.) All were in open fixtures, normal ambient (under 90 deg. F) temperatures.
The one brand I’ve had the best luck with is Cree. They seem to last longer and appear to be better made.
