You know, it's funny you should mention that, 'cause yesterday, we got checks totaling a bit over $300 from this, and I can't figure out why. Many years ago, we bought a bunch of Lights Of America LED flood lamps at Costco. They replaced typical 120-150W incandescent floods in a bunch of outdoor motion detector light fixtures like this. The regular bulbs never lasted very long due to all the on/off cycling from the motion detectors, which LEDs don't mind. Anyway, I don't think we spend $300 and I think those bulbs all still work!

I too received such a check yesterday for buying at Sam's Club & Costco, some of the lights failed, but they didn't cut the Lux mustard when I measured with my meter either.

Well, I never felt "cheated" in any way by the bulbs that we bought!

Been reading rumors of supplier issues with the factories building the 3.6 VR6. Don't know if it's connected.
