RiverRaider Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Anyone using these yet? I just picked one up last week for one of the rooms I'm re-doing... supposed to last nearly forever... if it burns out you just replace the whole fixture.

Billybob Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'd much rather replace a fixture than a bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRaider Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm just wondering how long they actually last.... Iv'e replaced way too many Fluorescent Shop light Fixtures...

We are going to update all of our lighting to LED this year. I have a friend that went that route last year with the CREE lights and he said his electricity bill was cut in half.

Surf Hunter Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Do you need new fixtures or can you put LED's in existing ones? Depends on the bulb type. for standard bulbs and CFL's, its just a screw in bulb for replacement, for recessed lighting, it is like what RR has pictured above. They are not cheap, but pay for themselves really fast. Also, from the research I did, it is best to buy only the Phillips or the CREE as they put out a much better light and illuminate a broader area like a standard bulb. Other brands seem to act more like a spot light. Be the chimp, not the frog..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get Cree 60W equivalents for $3.99 - $4.99 here. I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
