My mom buys these cheap LED bulbs from Amazon and about half burn out quickly (probably 10% are DOA).

We have 100% LEDs throughout our fifth wheel (about 30 of them), and they are all still going strong (all installed in 2015, and used daily since then).

I think there’s a serious difference in quality available and it certainly shows.

Honestly as somebody who’s been watching big clive’s channel I would never recommend anybody to buy those cheap LEDs from Amazon because there’s a non-insignificant risk that they may burn your house down.
