Led fluorescent bulbs

[ronan]

I was in the cef near me today, i priced the 5' led tubes, 20 euro inc vat for the philips ones. Thought that was alright.

A year down the road and I have three failed led tubes, spoke to the wholesaler today who assures me they will replace them. The upside of using a wholesaler over an ebay purchase but a little worrying about the longevity considering I have not had that many mancave hours in the last twelve months. Anyone else had led florry failures?
