It seems clean, Late 80's subdivision in major metro, Underground
utilities, APC ups's never complain. 3 power outages in 15 years.

Just lost another 'A' type LED bulb. GE Branded. Very light
usage. I think it is less than a year old. Started flickering
before going out completely.

We bought a bunch of 4' LED tubes for our office. They were like

Built-in transformer, so you just bypass or cut out the ballast
and wire them all 120VAC at one end. 50 or 60, I forget. About
15 are wired to a breaker that we flip on if we're on generator.
The rest have been used daily for well over a year with no
failures.

I've converted some things to A type LED Bulbs at my house,
mainly for the reduced heat output, but I'm not seeing
anywhere near the lifespan advertised. I would say ~50%
failure rate within 2 years. I'm betting the actual LED's are
fine, but the driver burns out. Is this common with LED's or
am I just really unlucky? We installed a bunch of 4' LED Shop
lights, granted they were all the same manufacturer, but we
have about 75% failed within 8 months.
