Thank you for backing me up. I still have 2 Earthwise bulbs going that are
from 1998 and half a dozen Ecosmart Double-Life's, both are "rated" or
"marketed" at 20,000-hours. While the Earthwise's only started out being on
for 8-hours a day (5-years) they've been daily use bathroom bulbs since and
seem to have proven themselves. I'd bank on Fluorescents, which have lead the
way for close to a century. LED's should've beat them to a pulp from the
start, but they don't and only try to match them.

The Ecosmarts, I've only had for a few years and quality's a problem with the
brand, but those that worked from the start haven't had any issues and it's
too early to tell. But, 4 of them have been 8-hours+ a day or 3000-hours a
year. They're at a little more than 9,000-hours now, so only time will tell if
they die or just keep going for another 3 to 5-years. So far, they've beaten
any 8,000-hour bulb and were cheaper than LED's of then and now.
