I am using GE daylight and they say 13 year guarantee on the box. They are at least 2 times as much money as all the imported ones. I have used Walmart and similar and they never last. I tried OSRAM made in Germany and they sucked for brightness. All my lights are not enclosed. They are all open air fixtures with lamp shades and my ceiling fans all have 4 candelabra style. The longest I have gotten any to last is 3 years.
Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

Buy better quality bulbs with drivers that don’t burn out.
Where can you buy those? No clue now, the one guy I knew making good ones got arrested.

GE is terrible. Use Phillips or Cree. Also turning them on and off often does shorten the lifespan. I’ve had some running 24/7 for maybe 8 years at this point and they’re still going strong.
