We have a dozen Philips in the house in the recessed ceiling lights. The oldest are about 3 years old and the first just went. Previously, bulbs wouldn't last 3 months in the same fixture (on all the time with heavy foot traffic right above it). We also have a dozen or more Philips in most of the other fixtures in the house for over two years with none failing. So one bulb failed out of 2 dozen with maybe an average of 2.5 years age. I sure am happy not having to replace a bulb somewhere every week or two like I used to. |
