Yes I'm sure there is the usual patent circus, but it's irrelevant.

Manufacturers simply want to make bulbs as cheap as possible in order to move more product, and consumables are the perfect market for this.

Exactly right. They know you won't be driving back to the store to return your $3 bulb.

Well I once bought a LED lamp (osram) for my bedroom almost 6 years ago and its still going .... I also bought a LED lamp a few weeks ago (chinese) and it blew up in my face as I turned it on for the first time so....  :-//

timelessbeing:
one lamp ... is that supposed to be significant in some way?  :-//

The one that failed on me was a common brand from a local store.

LED light usage depends on where you use them, they can get damaged usually when you provide a higher voltage than required. But otherwise they have a quite long span. I have been using led's all over my house right now and i dont think i have replaced any in the past 6 months

Not sure about you guys, but the line voltage here is pretty consistent. I would also think that household electronics are required to be a bit tolerant.

6 months isn't much.
