Half of them not working in under 4 years
Like many others, I purchased these at Home Depot (12 bulbs), and within 3.5 years, half of them were blinking off after being turned on for just a few minutes. I'm not sure if they are overheating or have some other circuitry malfunction, but that's a very, very bad fail rate for very expensive bulbs.<br /><br />Someone mentioned a 6 year warranty, and I am already in communication with Philips about the bulbs. Not sure if they will opt to refund or replace. My fear is they will refund/replace the 6 that aren't working properly, and then over the next few years, the rest will fail.<br /><br />We buy these bulbs with the promise of decades of life. Many times the lifespan of incandescents. That's why we are willing to pay a premium. It's unfortunate that these, at least, have failed to live up to that lofty promise.
