Hi all. I was at wal mart a few weeks ago and I noticed, much to my delight, that they had added a fairly large selection of home LED lights to their light bulb section. So I bought a couple. Should have known a little more about lumens output at the time, but that's beside the point. They were a little too dim. Anyway, the one I put in my bedroom ceiling fixture, died about a week of use, unfortunately. So I thought that I must have just gotten a defective light. Or did I? A few days after it died, the Texas monsoon season came. And, unfortunately, I got a new roof leak. Well, I have since fixed the leak, but for a day or two it was really bad. It ran the length of my ceiling. During the time I had the leak, the bad LED bulb would mysteriously start working, and flash brightly, every once in a while. I took it out and it did not seem to be wet anywhere though. And I also tested it in other sockets, and then in other light fixtures. I could never get it to light up again. Also, I have tested all other sockets on the fixture that I originally put it in, and they are all fine. All will lite up any other bulb that I put in there. This kinda defies logic. I don't get it. Maybe somehow, some water got down inside the LED bulb itself, and was causing a short that let the electricity jump past whatever was causing the factory defect? Seems kinda unlikely to me.
