Several weeks ago (maybe September, but not earlier) we bought a Cree LED screw in lamp for above our kitchen table. We use it about 8 hours each day.

2 days ago it crapped out.

These LED lights are supposed to have about 50,000 hours of life. This one didn't have 500.

Excellent. Rolling Eyes

The Crees are one of the top three out there. Bridgelux and Philips are the other two. Working with a lot of LEDs at work I find that more often than not it is the crappy driver that dies not the LED.

Not that this helps you much.
