The good old days are gone. Led bulbs, supposed to last what do they claim 25 years? I have a bag full of them that are blown. Where did I buy those? Where is the receipt? For some sending them back to CHINA costs far more than I paid for the bulbs delivered.
The blown bulbs are useful as markers in the yard. Stuff like where the sprinkler heads are.
When done I put them back in the bag.
Color of light seems to not be consistent to what is stated. Typical of electronic stuff one out of whatever fits your fixture will fail early. If a fixture takes 4 I always buy 6 or more. We have many fixtures that take the same looking bulb. I have a closet full of them, ok half a shelf.
Good news. Our outside lamp I have 3 Cree brand bulbs in it. The brighter ones 10 amp? and warm tone. They are nine years old still working fine a guess 9 yearsx10 hours a day=365x10=3650 a year x9=32850 that is amazing
