LED lightbulbs suk badger bawls!
Tried one in a fixture of four incandescents in the baffrooom, 'cause I had no other freakin' choice, and that light's bout as pleasant as sandpaper on a hemorrhoid.
So, I'm ordering incandescents online now. They're kinda oversized, but they fit the socket... so...
F the Climate Cult, sayeth I.

You have to quit fighting this fight. I’ve bought the best. They suck and it’s a crapshoot. Is the boards built right? Any moisture? LEDs work great. But they are being built now with mass production. The quality isn’t keeping up and the price is too high for the failure in quality.

Buy a good bulb in the right Kelvin and all will be fine.
You likely bought #### and complain it's ####.

lives in Greenville of all places.
I don’t buy any that don’t come with a 10 year warranty
Only had one go bad at home.
Installed 60,000 at work and so far only three have needed replacement in 4 years.

They are replacing bulbs behind your back. If you guys are even turning lights on at all. No way I’m this unlucky with LEDs.

A good candle costs way more than a pack of LEDs.

But you have to pay attention to the shade of white and linens w/leds. Also, if you want to have a dimmer, both the dimmer and the bulbs must be compatible. I’ve learnt this over time, and I’m good now inside. I bought fancy decorative ones for outside, and they’re too white and bright. But they’re paid for, so I’m good. I bet they last super long.

I have found some decent ones for inside with fairly warm light

Now the garage is where LED lights shine, literally. I have replaced the 60 watt incandescent bulbs with 100 watt equivalent LED's. 3 ceiling fixtures with 2 bulbs each. They do not overheat the fixtures anymore, and are brighter. I have 800 watts of BRIGHT light in the garage (counting the garage door openers). Love it.

"Decent ones" with "fairly warm light"
And that, folks, it the best on offer. Unless you dig stepping into the garage to find God's flashlight beaming in your heathern face.

Some places you want bright. Garages. Operating rooms.

Etc.
Last Led bulbs I replaced in a lamp I couldn't tell the difference.
