Bet you their life is even shorter than a filament bulb.


One that I brought lasted under 3 hours. Not sure what happened. It was
a 4W=40W with 4 'elements'.



The room I'm is lit with 121 of these beasts. They've already out-lived
their filament predecessors.


Ye Gods! Just how big a room are you lighting if you're using 121 "40W
equivalent" 470 or 510 lumens lamps? By my reckoning that's something
like a total of 57,000 to 62,000 lumens' worth of lighting.


I'm forced to conclude that you're using the word "room" in the
theatrical sense to refer to a theatre or large hall as "the room".


No, I'm admitting to a typo, should be 12
