Thanks. I used to think the same thing, then I bought a two pack of LED nightlights from Walmart. Despite supposedly lasting "indefinitely," they both became noticeably darker after only a couple of weeks, and this trend continued until they both ended up quitting after only a few months use at night (i.e., in less time than a conventional nightlight bulb would have lasted). Obviously cheap Chinese crap, but makes me rather leery about blanket claims for LED lifetimes. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46116 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
