I have these bulbs in several fixtures around the apartment. All do fine, except ones in the bathroom. Could the fixture be to blame for burn outs?

I have never had a burn-out (yet). Are you sure they are burned out? Have you tried them on another socket?

My bathroom one hasn't burned out yet after 18 months. But I do wonder if the higher humidity will eventually hurt it.

I can't say for sure. Does the bathroom fixture cause more heat to be retained? If the bulb gets hotter the extra heat may cause bulb failure.

I don't see how it could be the fixture. I have had 3 bulbs quit, all in different fixtures. When another bulb was put in the fixtures, they all worked, and are still working. But I made a mistake, and couldn't seem to correct it. The bulbs I had fail were not the daylight bulbs, but the warm white bulbs.

I have an 8 pendant light fixture in my dining room that I use these bulbs in. I have definitely used them for more than 5 hours at a time without any problem. My fixture is on a dimmer though and I rarely have it all the way on, as the 8 bulbs together are very bright.

This has never happened to mine. Sounds like a bad light. I personally think they are great!

No. It's not the bulbs. It's the base. For some reason it shorts out. I've found it happens if you generate static shock while touching the lamp.my initial 2 went out with in weeks. (I bought 2) just had a replacement go out last week. So will be calling for a replacement again.

I have never had a problem with the bulbs. I have two different lamps and they work fine.

I have no problem with my bulbs. I have these in my livingroom ceiling fan and in my bathroom. No problems at all with my bulbs or fans. It says not recommended for motion sensor lights...

That should have been a NO! Ours have not been installed that long and only 1 bulb has gone out. I recently had a new chandelier burn out a supplied bulb in a few weeks. Our outdoor fixtures have 100W clear bulbs installed, they cost more so perhaps they last longer.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

I am guessing that you cannot replace the bulbs since they have such a long life. I would email the manufacturer though.

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

I had the same problem about a week after I changed my 1st bulb. I returned the replacement and the newest replacement hasn't failed in several months. Good luck!

Not really, never had problems with the little bulb, maybe that one is defective or the formula your using is causing it

From my experience with these lights, the bulbs last a long time. Possibly years. During that time, the price has dropped considerably. I have no regards. I've cut my electric bill considerably. Prices have come down 75% since I bought these lights. At today's prices, I'd probably replace the whole light. We have four of these units, with multi lights and nothing has burned out. I originally had your same concerns, but after almost 2 years, I can say, I'm happy.I hope you find this answer helpful.

Mine also has a problem staying on when it shouldn't be. My bulbs burned out within 2 months. I wouldn't buy another. It's a China Cheapie!

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

Very strange. The same thing happened to me. You can get a replacement bulb pretty cheap at the big box stores. Was easy to replace. However be careful. When I first set it up, the bulbs got so hot that it burned a hole in the side of the box.

My guess is that there isn't enough resistance in the LED bulbs. Kinda like when a bulb burns out. Just a thought
