First or close to first generation. Newer ones are designed to fail. They had to have a reason for people to adapt in the roll out phase. Now they are that are readily available. Lamp manufacturers have been in the business of intentionally designing products with a shorter than necessary life expectancy since the beginning of the lamp industry...it is well known and well documented.

We have some Phillips L prize bulbs from 2012 that are still bright and going strong. This is the bulb that won the competition the DOE held for a led bulb. They were about $60 each here. Flew through Denver and ended up walking through a Lowe’s during the layover. SUBSIDIZED price was $5 each. Filled a cheap duffel bag and brought it as a carry on.

I use brand name outdoor LED lights on a timer so they are on 10-12 hrs a day. They last about 2 -3 years. That’s all I got.
