One perhaps continued to this day, if maybe in a different way (we'll know in a few decades) : toxic fluorescents and most diode bulbs not having separated transformers (they are DC !)

Though my LED lights do last a lot longer and cost way less to operate overall, so that is nice.

I’ve been singularly unimpressed with the rate my LED bulbs are failing.

Definitely not even close to 10-15 years I was promised.

And this is why warranties are pointless. How am I supposed to get one of these bulbs from a four-pack replaced by the manufacturer two years after I bought it?

Yeah, nowhere near as long as they should last, but better than it was.
