FYI for anyone looking to upgrade their lighting to LED. I would avoid the Cree light bulbs sold at Home Despot like the plague. About 12 months ago I bought and installed a bunch of them. Over the course of the year, they’ve died like flies… honestly I’m not sure they last any longer than regular bulbs and they cost 20x more. Stay tuned for a dissection of the Cree to maybe figure out what’s failing. Just ordered some “Amazon Basics” LED bulbs to give them a whirl at around $4/ea.
