What LED Globe Brand?

[Grubscrew]

I am getting slightly Gatvol at replacing LED lights, I mostly use Lumaglo from Checkers and they are not as long living as I would like, same experience with PnP noname and Philips (Both are made in Lesotho..). Majority of my light fittings are open and well ventilated.

Eurolux from Game.

I’ve found the Flash brand from Brights to not only offer more options for less money but to also last quite well.

Always Osram.

 

[PhireSide]

I've never had an LED bulb die on me in +- 10 years. Various brands, from Osram to Verbatim to cheap PnP specials.

What voltage is your mains running at?

 

[SauRoNZA]

Always Osram.

Never Osram.

The noisiest lights I have ever tried and endless returns because of it.

Overpriced garbage.

Philips. Something else is wrong if they keep blowing.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Philips.

I think its more about the quality of then vs now.
I replaced all +- 60 downlighters in house about 15 years ago. The bulbs cost over R100 each those years. I have only lost 3 on 15 years. But the newer once fails easier.

I’ve never even seen Philips bulbs locally.

I’ve never even seen Philips bulbs locally.

My local Brights always has Philips bulbs.

Don't know if it has been mentioned yet but I only buy Philips led globes

 

[Bernoldus Niemand]

My local Brights always has Philips bulbs.

Even the local Game has them.

My local Brights always has Philips bulbs.

Maybe it’s because I primarily need GU10 so don’t look for anything else.

I bought the Philips GU10s from them

Even the local Game has them.

It is the only reason I go to Game.

The Osram led bulbs are not that great and will fail after a year or two.

They use a cheap design for the power electronics and it is not able to handle the heat.

I have looked for this but I am not able to find it locally

Tried Eurolux,Osram and Sylvania,they are all GU10s.
For the last year the lights in the lounge flicker every so often and in 10 years never had this problem.
The lounge lights are on a dimmer.
I have changed the dimmer three times now and had an electrician come out twice and he can't solve the problem
Can anyone suggest what could cause this ?
Our bedroom has the same dimmer switch and in eleven years never had an issue with it.
