I knew these bright white LED’s would come out and get put somewhere

[daveamkrayoguy]

Yes, I decided I need light in my kitchen after the chandelier over our dining area table went from just one bulb burned out to quit working altogether…

So it’s back to the warm, golden glow of my ordinary incandescent bulbs that I put back in my lamp…

Of which the white bulbs there, aside from arc-ing, I thought, over time, were noticeably brighter but I’ll adjust back to them in time…

I, along with my friends, have learned that if going to LED lighting, to only buy quality brands like GE, Sylvania, Philips or Cree.
My neighbor bout those "Feil" brand LEDS and they don't last with a crap.
Stay away from those cheap brands.
I've got a Philips 15 watt LED in the a dining room table lamp that I leave on as a nightlight, and it's been on continuously for 18 years now.
My 12 volt garden lights, on a timer at night, are Philips too, and 15 years old and still bright.
If the house bulbs are to be used on a dimmer, make sure they are dimmable types.

If you mean Feit bulbs, they are excellent quality, and one of the first dimmable LED bulbs available. I've had one on 24/7 for almost 12 years. Another set of 5 above the kitchen table that are at least 8 years old. My Sylvanias started dying at about 3 years, same fixture.

As far as the OP. make sure the bulbs you use are rated for use in completely enclosed fixtures like those first three pics. If not they will burn out, possibly even melting. Check the base of the bulb.

It' hard to find enclosure rated bulbs.

Well, honestly, good luck with those Feit bulbs.
However, I'll stick to the name brands that have been around for a long time.
All one has to do is a simple check of Feit reviews on sites like Consumer Reports, Better Business Bureau, Costco, etc.
Tons of annoyed customers complaints is enough to steer anyone away.

I've already had good luck with them, they have lasted years. They are a brand name, formed in 1978 in the USA.

And they get good reviews:

Feit Electric Company: LED Bulbs

LED technology - the latest energy efficient LED technology uses considerably less amount of power, with an estimated energy efficiency of 87% compared with the equivalent incandescent light. Compared over the life of the bulb, the long life LED bulbs are rated to provide up to 35, 000 hours of...

GE, Sylvania, and Philips don't make bulbs (or much else), haven't for years. The brand names are just licensed.

My main point of posting was to warn him of using them in the enclosures that he pictured. They can and will overheat, I've seen it many times. It may be why MOST led bulbs get some bad reviews, they are not rated for what they were used for.

Apparently the site is now an Amazon associate, I didn't type that at the end.
