"in just under 4 years ago. Most of them have had to be replaced "
My experience also. I bought a couple of boxes, 8 bulbs I think, and all
but two were gone in less than 2 years. Way too expensive. No way were
they going to be cost effective. Give credit to their marketing group, not
their quality.
