OK, here's my rant of the day.
The bulb over the fireplace mantle burned out - its a recessed fixture BR30 - 3" floodlight 65 Watts. I think I replaced one in the last couple of years - it was with a spare incandescent I had.
So I figure its time for a LED. I am at Walmart and they have both dimmable and non dimmable LEDs - pack of four for $10 and 15 respectively.
Now I only have one fixture this size so I need one bulb. And according to the package at average use of 3 hours per day it should last 9.1 years.
So do I think I need 36.4 years worth of bulbs cluttering up my cabinet? I don't think so. I doubt I'll live 36 years more.
I hope Lowes or HD has singles... I didn't buy the ones from Walmart.
