Subject: RE: BS: Rough service light bulbs
Acme. I think I’ve replaced 2/24 lamps inside over our estimated 2 years. I think there are a couple of spare dimmable GLS spares around as I made a couple of changes, eg. switching to an LED panel in my room but (unlike with the incandescents) I haven’t really made an effort to carry spares. We’ve got dimmable/non dimmable, GLS, candle, GU10, MR16, daylight/warm and I’d not want to keep one of each type.

I had 2 x 50W floods fail outside. They looked a good buy on Amazon and mostly received 5 star reviews but 6 month down the line, people started having troubles (I think mostly water getting in) with them and they are now “unavailable” on the site. So far, the MiniSun branded ones I replaced them with and had previously been using in smaller wattage versions to light a path from the house to the field have been good. Certainly hope so. We don’t want to have replace any of our LED lamps soon but there is more expense and hassle with these.
