I visited a house, and there was a light fixture, the LED bulb was strobing, one LED was working, and the middle bulb was incandescent and working. This is ridiculous!

I’ve seen so many newer LEDs fail, while older ones keep getting. I’ve seen LEDs fail, but fail before an incandescent??? Never. That just grinds my gears. Seeing an LED die before an incandescent bulb is ridiculous, and the incandescent in the fixture is GE 60W A19 so it was made before 2014, and it was made in China. The lighting wasn’t matched as the incandescent was 2800K but the LEDs were 5000K. And another thing I notice with LEDs, is that it’s common for all of them to fail at the same time in a short period if they were installed at similar times. Commonly, when one modern LEDs fail, the entire batch fails with it.

The fact that even incandescent bulbs rated at 1,000 hours are lasting longer than some LEDs in open fixtures is proof that LED quality has gone down.

The GE snow cone LEDs seem decent, and the reflectors. The bulvs were probably like cheap Walmart or Home Depot brand, but that doesn’t make it acceptable for an LED bulb to fail sooner than an incandescent.
