I think those were the same Fiet LEDs that I saw at Menards about a month back. I think they were on sale for $20 at the time. I've been waiting for a long time to see a 60 watt equivalent. I just need some CFLs to burn out to I have an open socket to put them in and I'll buy them and likely never have to touch them for decades. One of my 40 watt equivalent Sylvania's is rated for 50,000 hours. 5.7 years if they were on 24 hours a day, 23 years if they were on 6 hours a day, and 34 years if used for 4 hours a day(usual performance factor for CFLs when they are claiming their 9 year or so life). Sweet!

I can imagine it now, putting LEDs in all the fixtures and 20 years later you are just replacing your first one.
