I can't stand being in rooms that are lit by CFLs. Everything is gray and washed out. A quality LED with a high CRI writing is so much better.

Not every LED is equal.

The ones I bought say 22 years/25,000 hours

I replaced every bulb in our house with LEDs 3 years ago. Haven't changed one.

Nice bulbs. CRI is 80. That about average for LED.

Hmm... Here I thought the temperature was all that was different between bulbs.

I've had better luck with CFL bulbs. Some I've had for nearly 10 years

I had terrible luck with CFL. Led has been much more reliable.

You have lightsaber tech and you’re still using LED?

Don't buy CREE Light Bulbs. What brand did you buy?

I bought 20 year CREE light bulbs a few years ago, they lasted a year.

I’m just replacing mine as the old ones burn out. And some don’t last.
