Msg ID: 2823822 LED bulbs are such a sham!! +4/-6

This is the 3 time in 4 years I've had to replace several LED wet rated outdoor bulbs that rarely get turned on!  They tell you they are supposed to be energy efficient and save money.   Well, what they don't tell you is it's because they don't work!   Say's on the box "Lasts 13 Years: 15,000 hours", but since this is my 3 time changing the bulbs now, I can verify that is nothing but a sham!   That would be the equivilent of 625 days of continious use.   LED's are selling for way over what incandescent bulbs sold for.

The poster stated it was costing HIM more money to supply the base with LED lighting. I'm not arguing cost but I'm sure his company pays the bill, it's not coming out of his pocket as implied.

They use more power than they claim due to PF  (power factor)  the new meters can measure the increased power used.

You sir are an idiot. Are you saying this person's wages have not increased because of the cost of his company buying LED light bulbs?

Yep.  The LED itself is fine.  The control board is where they put the weak link at.  This article went into a much deeper explanantion.
