I have a kitchen under counter fixture that has been on for the 32

replace than just buying a new bulb.

What a horrible waste of electricity. You should be taken out and
flogged by a Greenie.

There are 8760 hours in a year and these things last a few years.
There may be an LED in the future for that location.

Perhaps. A switch would be more effective, though.

It has a switch, we don't use it though. I want to be able to walk
into the kitchen at any time and be able to get a drink of water or
whatever. Plenty of light to start the coffee or tea in the morning.
Casts enough light to find the bathroom door, the top of the stairs.
too.

I also have an LED nightlight in the bathroom. Gives enough light
that you can use the bathroom during the night and not have to turn a
light on. Only had it about 6 months so I'm not sure how long it will
last.
