Dawai,
Perhaps I didn't explain properly - no I'm not throwing them away, I'm replacing the individual LEDS as they fail !!!!!!

I have set up my workshop with downlight L E D's after an inishal failure becaus of overheating behind diffusers , had no probs after removing the diffusers for over a year now .
Dawai:
Sorry Andrew.. sometimes the speed-reading kicks me in the butt. If I get distracted, or.... My eyes keep going, my brain changes channels. My wife and large dog "WILL NOT" be ignored. Good attention thou, I have not been lonely in a long time.
I've never gotten over Tesla's single transformer lighting.. for a whole building..
RF. I worry about "HF radar" waves cooking my internals.

"OUR president Bush made filament bulbs illegal.. discontinued them.."
My jaw dropped when I first heard about this until I realized that halogen bulbs do not apply and they are one of the recommended replacements for incandescent bulbs. I think most of us already use halogen bulbs in our house verses the cheap incandescent bulbs so it ended up not being a big deal to me. Now if they got rid of halogen bulbs and your only replacement was compact florecent or LED then I would have a big problem with that as both bulbs have some issues that still need to be worked out before they could be the only choice in lighting.

My parents replaced ALL of their light bulbs with LED last year and have had really good luck with the Cree brand of bulbs. They gave me one as a stocking stuffer for christmas and I put it in the living room. There are two other lamps in the room and the LED bulb looks just like the other halogen lamps. Same amount of light and the same color. You would never guess that one of them is LED. The package claims a warranty of 10 years 25,000 hours. I plan to buy some more next month and will save the receipt and will send them in if there are any issues. They cost around $13.00 each so they better last so I can get my money back out of them.
My parents were able to see a big difference in their electric bill when they switched to the LED lights They claim that they bulbs will pay them back in the first year but I didn't crunch any numbers my self.
