My experience with FEIT CFLs is that they are short-lived. I hope their
LEDs are much better quality.


in my experience that is true of all CFLs.



CFL's can work great but if you put them in places where they are
frequently turned on and off they can wear out fast. I no longer put
them in my bathrooms. Between taking several seconds to come up to full
power and short life, I prefer incandescents in bathrooms.
Powder room in my basement has original super bulbs put there by the
builder 35 years ago.


This^. I put them in places that are a PITA to get to or are enclosed
fixtures that build up heat where incandescent bulbs don't last.
