I have recently bought a couple of these, one 7" and 11".

About a year ago, I bought 3 of these from HD. They were wire in, not screw
in. I liked them, nice and bright.

Within 3 months, one began flickering badly. Another month or so and a
second began flickering, A month or so later the flickering was so bad that
they were unuseable so both were replaced with similar incandescent bulb
fixtures. The replaced lights had a 5 year warranty but I didn't bother
with it, HD receipt was long gone and even if I had it, the warranty has a
"not OUR fault" clause' moreover, the only remedy was repair or replace and
I didn't want another..

Four or five months later, the third began flickering too. It is still
flickering, light outbut is maybe 10% of the original. It too will be
replaced when I get around to it. That's $90 + 7% tax down the drain. No
more LEDs for me.




FWIW. The bulbs that HD and the likes sell are some what unique to each
brand store. I have called the manufacturer, given them the numbers off of
the bulbs and they can tell me that I either bought them from HD, Lowes, Or
Sam's Club. They never need a receipt or proof of purchase for a free
replacement but some times might want the defective one back. Every
manufacturer has paid for return shipping when asked to return.
