We had all kinds of
trouble with LED MR16 or GU10 (whichever the 12 volt ones are) so we
went back to halogens - these are in a 14-20 foot mceiling. They have
been in a month now, and already 3 out of 54? are dead.......
All I know is LEDs can't take heat. Halogen bulbs can. Maybe it is hot up
there?

(e-mail link at home page bottom).
It's a bit warmer up there than at floor level but that doesnt
explain why the halogens are letting go even more quickly than the
LEDs did - - -
because heat rises, and halogens create a lot more of it, particularly
base-up.
I was replying to "All I know is LEDs can't take heat. Halogen

moreso than the terrible results we had with LEDs.
