Just as well they come with 3 - 5 year warranties then...

whatever use is that? I expect light fittings to last decades, and mine do.

Most decorate more than once every couple of decades and usually lighting styles and their fixtures change.

funny how that works. People buy junk, get fed up with it after 10 years and replace it with more junk. Rinse & repeat.

Yes they do that is how most people live.

While those that know what they're doing buy something satisfactory & keep it for life.

No they don't well perhaps royalty, stately homes might do.
do you really think people take their light switches with them when they move.

doubt it, but what has that to do with luminaire life expectancy?

How many people take light bulbs with them when they move house ?
Most dont; buy just for luminaire life expectancy, they go by what fits the socket and then they type or style.



Do you also buy a car for life the best car you can possibley afford and keep it for 50+ years ?

Very few do. Those that do end up with a valuable stylish car.

If they don't use it much. But for most people they buy cars to use and sell second hand.



Do most only buy one house and live in it forever ?

and that has what to do with the life expectancy of luminaires?

So you don;t leave a hous ebecause yup've bought expensive luminaire life expectancy bulbs.


And no surprise, in time it becomes the most desirable lighting around. Some of course short circuit that process & buy good very old fittings.

and most don't.

we know this. don't we?

Yes.



Not everyone is fooled into paying £1000 for a pair of shoe guarrenteed for life.

and that has what to do with the life expectancy of luminaires?

you sound like wodney.

You seem to have forgotten the topic. I don't mind.


I've not forgotten, perhaps yuo decided to change it to warrenties and how useful they are.
