I wish the LEDs weren't such crap. They don't even last as long as a 60W incandescent a lot of times. The old CFLs last years, I have a few over ten years old.

I haven't had a filament LED fail on me yet. The cheapest LEDs you can find aren't worth it; best to get a name brand.

We need more systems where we can just replace the power supplies on these bulbs.

I've been running pure led for 10 years. The only failures I've had were in heat prone fixtures not designed for leds
