Yes . Rhonda... I'm right there with you about those "lighter" lights. Not only do the bulbs wear out fast but on mine the bulbs wont seat properly so they hang down and wont light at all. I'm finished with them. I don't have time to worry about whether the light is on or not. Am in the market for a different brand...any suggestions?
