No Where Near 50,000 Hours
I bought a six pack on December 22, 2021 and immediately installed 3 bulbs over our house plants that we bring indoors during the winter. I have them on a timer to be on 18 hours a day, 7 days a week as they recommend. One bulb failed last week 84 days after installing it. That's 1,512 hours. A second bulb failed this week at 1,638 hours.
I purchased another six pack before they stated failing. I like the bulbs but they're kind of expensive for the short lifespan. The house plants and indoor garden plants have done well under these bulbs. I've contacted the seller for warranty replacements. I'll update this review if I hear from the seller.
Update: The seller asked for pics of the 2 bulbs in fixtures with power on. Not sure what good a pic is going to do them. Then they asked if I had them on a dimmer, I don't. By the time I responded to the 2nd request the third bulb failed. That's 100% failure rate in less than 2,000 hours. I received a partial refund.
Please let me know if you found this review helpful. Thanks!
