[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1063093, member: 176704"] Ref LED bulbs - might have been the transformers at one time but I've had more than my "fair share" of both 12V (those have now had the transformers replaced by gen LED ones) and mains-powered ones well before the declared life - particular case was the THREE "corncob" ones bought for the outside security lights, as each one failed in less than a year of intermittent use, and the eBay seller (from China!) ignored repeated attempts at communiction/requests for replacements!! :rolleyes: OTOH, most of the halogen bulbs go on for years - including those in the lounge wall lights and chandelier. Nowadays I tend to buy them from CPC-Farnell as they have a good returns policy and generally live up it. [/QUOTE]
