I don't know if it's just because I heard that LED lights retained better light intensity, but it feels like the light from the bulbs travels further. I can't really describe it, but I like the light that they put out. They're still expensive as all hell though. Cheapest so far as a 2-pack of 60watt equivalents for $8.99.

I despise CFL and have been waiting for LED to become better priced.Quote:

My biggest concern with LED was mounting anything upside-down. All but one of these so far are mounted lamp up or horizontal. We'll see if they survive their claimed warranty period.
haha
deja vu times two.
what's wrong with us? We need to whore more
What's the deal with mounting LEDs upside down? I can't imagine what the problem could be. I've got two mounted upside down and will report any problems. So far I love how durable they are. I dropped my desk lamp into the engine bay while working on my truck a few times and the light stayed on. When installing one in the girl's bathroom I dropped the bulb from the fixture into the sink. A regular bulb would have exploded all over me. LED bulb is fine and working.

The upside down porch light LED bulb on the back porch only lasted a year and turned into a strobe light last week. The ones in the dining room fixture seem to have lost some of their brightness but are still working.
Kazoo, if you want free CFL's , I have a butt ton of them and no use for them....they're yours for the taking.
