[Shop-talk] led security lighting vrs incandescent`

[Ian McFetridge]

I'll add Lithonia to the do not buy list.  In 2014 I replaced three outdoor
spotlights with Lithonia <http://a.co/6OekD9F>LED spotlights and they've
all failed.  I will admit they are good about warranty replacements, but
after warranty you are on your own.  I've switched back to traditional
medium base splotlight housings with Cree LED bulbs that seem to last
(several years).  This also goes for the indoor ceiling lights by Lithonia
and other (Costco and Amazon sourced).  Amazon and Costco just refunded the
purchase price...and I replaced them with traditional fixtures and LED
bulbs.
