I thought LED bulbs were supposed to last for many years. I
put on in my barn about 2 years ago. It's on all the time as a
safety light. It only uses about 5 watts so I'm not concerned
about energy usage. (25W equivlent).

All of a sudden it has gotten real dim, and it flickers. I'm
wondering what caused that? I know it cant be fixed and needs
to be replaced, but I did not think the LED bulbs were
supposed to fail for many years.

When I shut it off, it stays lit for a few seconds after the
switch is OFF, so I imagine there is a capacitor in it, but
obviously that cap is working..... But it's less than half as
bright as it used to be, and flickers.

try it in a different socket.

Well, fellas...... This sad story sorta is like life for us old
farts. We last [hopefully] fer many years ourselves, ya know.
Then, one day we start gettin' a might tuckered out, if ya follow
me. We start gittin' dim ourselves, and in a way you could say
we, too, start to flicker. Eventually we just kinda wink out all
together, ya know; and it's--like they say--the Final Curtain.
Folks left behind, they might cry a little at first; but soon
enough they forget about us. In a few more years nobuddy even
remembers us. Such is the temperance of existence.

Amen (and boo hoo)

The living should envy the dead.

What's to envy. You freaking heathen non-believers seem to think
when one dies there is nothing after it.

Bible-thumpers like you, and camel jockeys who believe in their little
slice of heaven are fools. This is it. You won't be going anywhere
after you die. Your body will simply release all its atoms to become
other things.

That means you think nothingness is better than life.

Stick around long enough, and you will too. The so-called Happy Times
will soon be over.

OMG but that's such retarded thinking.

It only make sense that the living envy the dead if one believes in
Jesus Christ and his promise of everlasting life if one believes in
Him. I envy those who died and achieved everlasting life but I sure
feel badly for those who actively reject Jesus Christ and for that
rejection end up with nothing but some time spent in hell before God
destroys that last bastion of non believers and all who dwell there.

What will you do in your heaven all day, Greg? Will you sit around on
a cloud joyfully plucking a harp? You and your fellow fools believe
in something that you don't even have any concept of. Can you even
begin to describe what your mythical heaven is supposed to be like?
Eternal bliss would be a curse, not a blessing. Thank your god that
once you're dead, you'll never know you were conned your entire life.

What can I say other than I will pray for your endangered soul and
fervently hope you repent before it's too late.

Thanks, but there's no need for you to waste any time praying for my
soul. Nobody ever hears those prayers anyway.

No need for him to waste his time praying for me either. People who
believe in an after life and/or some godly being are just plain
delusional. I say, live your life now and make the best of it. It's all
we have.
