We all love CREE and their amazing emitters, but even I have to admit anecdotally that I've had SO many problems with the LED bulbs I've purchased from them. I think literally 3 out of maybe 8 or so died from a few years ago and I have one that flickers badly and I may as well just get rid of it. I don't know if this is just an issue with CREE, but it really looks bad with the promises of LED bulb tech to the mass market. Maybe it was just specific bulbs for specific years they produced that are not so good, but it seems this might be a pretty big issue for them. Some of the bulbs from them I've had burn out literally have fin-heat-sinking around the base of the bulbs too so it's strange to see them burn out.
Anyone else have problems specifically with CREE led bulbs? I do have a few more expensive spot-light bulbs from them I use as bounce lights directed upwards towards the ceiling and they are great.
