Your light sockets--is the sky the limit on wattages, or are U governed by 60-w, or less?

For me have gone back to halogen.The current GE and Sylvania CFL and LED lamps are JUNK!!!!Tried both they only last a few months or worse--GE LED Reveal lamps lasted a WEEK!!!!Got sick of this and went to halogens-MUCH better and they are still working.

LEDs failing...

I find it odd.  I've had LEDs for many many years and as mentioned my entire house is LED, and I"ve had 2-3 bulbs fail - that's it.  Some have been around for 5-7 years, still fine. Don't buy anything special, whatever is on sale or on clearance.  Only care about color temp and lumens.  All my daily general lighting is on Smart devices and come on about sunset and run to about 12:30 AM, so lots of hours right now, not so much in summer.  The rest pretty much are on dimmers and perhaps the soft turn on helps extend the life.  The closet lights are simple switches, but get minor use so hard to tell with those.

The Kitchner lamps are running fine-they are a few years old.It was the GE,Sylvania LED lamps I had trouble with.Lowes no longer has the Kitchner bulbs.And they are the warm"filament" style ones.Like them a lot-would like to get more.

LED bulbs are still available according to a google search from online suppliers.
I have some in a ceiling fan in the bedroom and I do like the warm temperature.

LED bulbs failing early? I know that when I don't obey the manufacturers directions and place them (or before that CFLs) in an enclosed fixture, their life would be reduce by quite a bit. With that said they do make LED bulbs that can be run in an enclosed fixture.

The CFL and LED lamps that failed on my were being used in standard unenclosed fixtures.The bulbs I have now are fine.GE halogen.
