Anyone try or using these newer garage LEDs?

I have very limited light in my garage and really need more. I ran
across these new LED screw-in bulbs and was curious if anyone here has
tried or seen them in action. Good light? Last long?

When LED bulbs first came on the market people were complaining that
when used IN A GARAGE DOOR OPENER the opener would not work correctly.

They are still complaining. Well, maybe "people" aren't complaining,
but manufacturers still advise against it, sort of.

On this page, Chamberlain puts LEDs on the list of bulbs *not* to use,
then immediately provides a table of compatible LEDs. WTF? At least they
put an disclaimer next to it, so I guess it's not a real "not".

SOME LED lamps interfere with SOME RF remotes.The only time they
would be a problem is trying to close the door with the lights still
on after opening, or trying to re-open the door withthe lights still
on after closing.

Which isn't an unusual situation. The lights come on (timer resets)
when you back out of the garage and cross the safety beam. I don't
wait another five minutes to drive off.'

I do have something interfering but I can't pin it on the lights. It
doesn't seem to matter whether they're on or off. It seems very
positional.

Do you have one of the HomeLink devices? I find mine to be very
temperamental. I'm thinking I need to move the rcvr closer to the
front of the garage.

It may have one (something that connects to WiFi) but I don't use it.
I just use the remote that came with it. My wife uses the one built
into her car. Come to think of it, she has ore problems but I thought
it was because my truck is in the way (in the driveway).



Food for thought and this has nothing to do with lighting.
About 10 years ago we moved into a new home and I installed a new
Craftsman door opener.
My wife's car always opened the door with no problems. Her car has the
home link built in. My Tundra with the remote that came with the garage
door opener was always finicky. Some times it worked, sometimes I had
to walk up to the door with remote in hand to open the door.
I had that issue from day one up until very early last year, so about 8
years.

The remote finally stopped working. I replaced the 8 year old battery
and suddenly all of the prior 8 years of intermittent issues disappeared
completely. I was shocked.

SO while the batter/remote worked inconsistently the same from new to
the 8 year mark. The new battery fixed all.
Not uncommon. ANd sometimes just removing the old battery and putting
it back in works too.
