New LED lights reliability
texaspyro:
BTW, a "fully enclosed" fixture is like a recessed ceiling can with a cover over the place where the light comes out. An open-front ceiling can is not "fully enclosed". All my bulbs are in open-front fixtures.
Another story... somebody built a multi-million dollar house down the road. They installed custom, high dollar, low voltage LED lighting everywhere. A year or two later the drivers starting failing and the company that did them went out of business. They spent around $40,000 replacing all those fancy-schmancy fixtures. Moral of the story... use fixtures that have screw-in retrofit bulbs.
Marco:
Even if you don't trust the AC/DC transformers enough to put above your ceilings, you can still do 12V AC transformers and G4.

The company in question was a subsidiary (or spin-off?) of one of those well respected giga-dollar companies...
