Re: The Biggest Thing Since the Light Bulb
#3This is huge if only because a LED bulb company finally put its warranty where its mouth is.
Every other bulb, ie. the expensive Phillips bulb, only gives a 3-4 year warranty
I'd definitely give this a try @ $10
It's also dimmer compatible which is a big plus for me with X10 control, CFL cannot dim.
If this bulb does not operate for 10 years (based on 6 hours per day / 7 days per week of normal consumer use) from date of purchase when used as directed, return the bulb [...] Cree will send you a replacement or at Cree’s option refund the original purchase price.

#4$10 seems like actually a very good price for LED bulbs, especially if they work as advertised. Add in a 10yr warranty and it seems like a no brainer. Cree isn't a little startup or anything either, it's an established LED manufacturer.

I wonder what the expected warrantee redemption rate is for these things, for all of them that fail. Say you had it for 5 years and it failed. If it was me, I'd just go out and buy another one. Perhaps a different brand, but I probably wouldn't think that far ahead. For something at this price point, does anybody really USE the warrantee?

For $10, I would return it for the next ten years. Problem is it costs $1.70 to send via USPS mail, but maybe you could wait until you had a couple to send back.

I agree. I bought a Sylvania and while I like it, specially the 75W equiv, it's a bit pricey ($35). I'll be on the lookout for these next time I'm at a home improvement store. Also hope they come out with 75W equivs. Love the crees in torches as well.
