I purchased about $100 of these bulbs from Sam's Club 3 months ago. They're supposed to be the equivalent of a 40 watt incandescent bulb, but they're nowhere near that bright, more like a 25 watt. They're also supposed to last for 30,000 hours, which comes out to about 3.5 years running 24/7, but I've already had two bulbs burn out. They saw maybe 100-150 hours of usage. At $5 a piece, that's unacceptable.

EDIT: It's now 6 months since I purchased the bulbs and I've had 6 of them burn out so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never-ever-buy this or any LED product from these crooks, June 30, 2009

I've been taken as a sucker before, but never so blatantly. Bought a total of nine (three different types) Lights of America LED bulbs. Two died the first month, two died the second, three died the third. Only the two floodlights still work in month four. I don't expect much from them. Lights of Americas won't answer email or respond to any type of communication. So much with trying to save any electricity or carbon or money over the long term. I feel cheated. I wouldn't feel less violated had they stuck a gun in my back and robbed me in the street.

I must admit that the lumen output is adequate for a desktop lamp, but when I take in the price and the expected bulb life against the actual bulb life I have to give this the lowest rating possible. I bought this bulb from expecting to get an environmentally friendly bulb I'd keep for years to come. It lasted 3 months. It was not abused and it was rarely used -- maybe a few hours for a couple of nights a week. This should last 5 to 10 years, not less than 5 months! It didn't even last as long as a bulb that costs a tenth of this item's price.

I will avoid all Lights of America products in the future after this experience.
